ABSTRACT

Ligand exchange of thermochromic, LETC, systems exhibiting a reversible change in absorbance of electromagnetic radiation as the temperature of the system is reversibly changed are described. The described LETC systems include one or more than one transition metal ion, which experiences thermally induced changes in the nature of the complexation or coordination around the transition metal ion(s) and, thereby, the system changes its ability to absorb electromagnetic radiation as the temperature changes. In accordance with certain aspects of the present invention, thermochromic systems are disclosed comprising a transition metal ion with particularly useful ligands, such as phosphine compounds, tridentate ligands that coordinate through three nitrogen atoms, bidentate ligands, or ortho hindered pyridine monodentate ligands.

BACKGROUND

Many chromogenic phenomena are known in which a change in color or achange in light absorption results from some action or stimulus exertedon a system. The most common chromogenic phenomena are electrochromics,(EC), photochromics, (PC), and thermochromics, (TC). Many phenomena arealso known in which optical changes, like light scattering or diffusereflection changes, take place as a result of some action or stimulusexerted on a system. Unfortunately, referring to these as chromicphenomena has led to a fair amount of confusion in the past. We preferto distinguish light scattering systems from chromogenic systems byreferring to the light scattering phenomena as a phototropic,thermotropic or electrotropic phenomena. This distinction and otherdistinctions are elaborated on below.

In general, and especially for the sake of the patent application, theterms used for an optical phenomena, should relate to the direct,primary action causing the phenomena. For example, modern dayelectrochromic systems generally involve electrochemical oxidation andreduction reactions. Thus an electrical process directly causesmaterials to change their light absorbing or light reflectingproperties. Alternatively, electrical energy can also be used togenerate heat or light and this heat or light, in turn, may be used toaffect a thermochromic or a photochromic change. However, the indirectuse of electricity should not make these electrochromic phenomena. Forexample, a thermochromic layer may increase in temperature and lightabsorption when in contact with a transparent conductive layer which isresistively heated by passing electricity through the transparentconductive layer. However, in accordance with the terminology usedherein, this is still a thermochromic device and should not be called anelectrochromic device. Also, just because an electric light produced UVradiation that caused a color change by a phototchemical reaction, likethe ring opening of a spirooxazine compound, that would not make such aprocedure a demonstration of electrochromics.

A similar distinction should be made with a thermochromic layer that isresponsive to sunlight as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,084,702 and6,446,402. The thermochromic layer may be heated by absorbing sunlightor being in contact with another layer that absorbs sunlight. Heresunlight exposure changes the color and/or the amount of light absorbedby the thermochromic layer. However, this is still a thermochromicphenomenon because a heat induced temperature change causes thechromogenic change and the same change takes place when the layer isheated by other means. The absorbed photons from the sun are onlyconverted to heat and do not directly cause a photochromic change.Accordingly, the term photochromics should be reserved for systems inwhich the absorption of a photon directly causes a photochemical orphotophysical reaction which gives a change in color or a change in thesystem's ability to absorb other photons.

In addition to chromogenic systems, there are a variety of systems withreversible changes in light scattering. The more widely studied lightscattering systems include: (1) lower critical solution temperature,LCST, polymeric systems; (2) polymer dispersed liquid crystal, PDLC,systems; (3) polymer stabilizer cholesteric texture, PSCT, systems and(4) thermoscattering, TS, systems. Additional description of these andother light scattering phenomena may be found in U.S. Pat. No.6,362,303. In the past, several of these phenomena have been calledthermochromic and even electrochromic. From our standpoint thesephenomena are neither thermochromic nor electrochromic since the wordchroma relates to color and the intensity and quality of color. Theseare better termed thermotropic or electrotropic to help indicate thechange in state that takes place.

Definitions rarely cover every eventuality, especially when it comes toborderline cases. Hence electrochemical systems that change fromcolorless and non-light scattering to specularly reflecting are stillgenerally termed electrochromic because of the electrochemical nature ofthese processes. Also, some thermochromic systems involve changesbetween liquid and solid phases and could conceivably be calledthermotropic systems. But these systems have dramatic changes in lightabsorption and are still termed thermochromic. On the other side, somereversible light scattering systems may have some spectral selectivityto the light scattering and hence give rise to some color appearance.Yet the primary change is between light scattering and non-lightscattering states. Even the change in some systems from colorless andnon-light scattering to a frosted, diffusely reflecting and whiteappearance might suggest a color change to the color white. However, westill term these tropic and not chromic changes.

In summary, systems without any substantial change in light scattering,that primarily involve a change in color, intensity of color orabsorption of light, as well as those electrochemical and thermochemicalphenomena that give a change in specular reflectance, are hereinunderstood to be chromic or chromogenic phenomena. One of these chromicphenomena—thermochromics, as defined herein, is the subject of thepresent invention.

Many thermochromic materials and phenomena are known. These includereversible and irreversible changes in optical character. A well knownthermochromic phenomena, for use with windows, involves metal oxide thinfilms. Most notably films of VO₂, and doped versions thereof, are knownto reversibly change their specular reflectance in the NIR with changesin temperature. Thermochromic processes with changes in light absorptionare observed when heating causes: (1) an increase in the amount of ringopening of certain spiro compounds; (2) the dissociation of certainanions from certain triarylmethane dyes or (3) the dissociation ofcertain “dimeric” substances into highly absorbing “monomeric” freeradicals. Thermochromic phenomena are also involved in phase changesystems which change from highly absorbing to colorless or nearlycolorless when certain pH indicators change their association withcertain weak acids during a melting or solidification process.

Still other reversible thermochromic systems involve thermally inducedchanges in the way ligands associate with transition metal ions. Thepresent application discloses particularly useful versions of thesemetal-ligand thermochromic systems and combinations of these systemswith other thermochromic systems.

SUMMARY

In accordance with the certain aspects of the present invention, athermochromic system is disclosed comprising a transition metal ion anda ligand wherein the ligand comprises a nitrogen containing five or sixmembered heterocyclic compound that coordinates through the nitrogenatom to the transition metal ion in a HεMLC formed between thetransition metal ion and the ligand.

In accordance with other aspects of the present invention, thermochromicsystems are disclosed comprising a transition metal ion with ligandssuch as phosphine compounds, tridentate ligands that coordinate throughthree nitrogen atoms, bidentate ligands, or ortho hindered pyridinemonodentate ligands.

The thermochromic systems of the present application are, herein,termed: ligand exchange thermochromic, LETC, systems. LETC systems havethermochromic activity which results in a reversible change inabsorbance of electromagnetic radiation as the temperature of the systemis reversibly changed. That the change is reversible means that theamount of change in absorbance remains fairly consistent, for both theincrease and decrease in absorbance throughout a given temperaturerange, on repeated temperature cycling, for some useful number ofcycles. The thermochromic systems of this invention have a reversible,net increase in their ability to absorb light energy in the visibleand/or NIR range as the temperature of the system is increased and a netdecrease in their ability to absorb light energy in the visible and/orNIR range as the temperature of the system decreases for temperatureswithin the active range of the system. The active temperature range ofthe system is determined by the thermodynamic properties of the LETCreactions. For many of our applications the active temperature rangeincludes 0 to 100 degrees Celsius.

LETC systems comprise one or more than one transition metal ion, whichexperiences thermally induced changes in the nature of the complexationor coordination around the transition metal ion(s) and thereby thesystem changes its ability to absorb electromagnetic radiation as thetemperature changes.

In accordance with particularly useful systems described herein, theelectromagnetic radiation, for which absorbance changes occur, is in thevisible and NIR portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Some of thesystems described herein also exhibit changes in absorbance in theultraviolet. The change in light absorption on heating of the LETCsystems generally results in a change from one color to another colorand/or a darkening of the color of the system. However, if the increasein light absorption is predominantly in the NIR, the LETC system maystill be very useful even though little or no visual color changeoccurs.

The term visible light generally applies to that portion of theelectromagnetic spectrum sensed by the human eye. While some definitionsmight limit the terms “light” and/or “photon” to the visible portion ofa spectrum produced by a source of electromagnetic radiation, for thepurposes of this patent application, the terms “light” and “photon” alsoapply to the near ultraviolet and near infrared portions of the spectra,incident on the earth's surface, from sources of electromagneticradiation like the sun. The wavelengths of ultraviolet light of interestare from about 280 nanometers to about 400 nanometers. The wavelengthsof the visible light of interest are from about 400 nanometers to about700 nanometers. The wavelengths of NIR light of interest for our LETCsystems are from about 700 nanometers to about 1400 nanometers. Thus thevisible through NIR range wherein reversible net light energy absorbanceincreases are of interest is from about 400 nm to about 1400 nm.

The energy of each photon is inversely proportional to its wavelengthand is determined by Planck's constant multiplied by the frequency ofthat photon. As a LETC system is heated, at least one light absorbingspecies decreases in concentration thereby decreasing the system'sability to absorb photons related to its absorption spectra. At the sametime, at least one light absorbing species increases in concentrationthereby increasing the system's ability to absorb photons related to itsabsorption spectra. The ratio of the amount of energy absorbed to theamount incident on the system depends on several factors including (1)the absorption spectra of the LETC system at a given temperature; (2)the intensity and spectral distribution of the light source and (3) theexposure time.

For certain LETC systems disclosed and for the particular applicationsthereof, as the temperature of the LETC system increases there is anincrease in the ratio of [the total energy per unit time of all visibleand NIR electromagnetic radiation, (photons), absorbed by the system] to[the total energy per unit time of all visible and NIR electromagneticradiation, (photons), incident on the system] from a broad band sourceof electromagnetic radiation incident on the system. For particularlyuseful applications of the LETC systems or layers disclosed herein,there is a net increase in the ability of the system to absorb incidentvisible and NIR sunlight power, (or energy over time), as thetemperature of the system increases. In most cases, this means that theLETC systems become darker in color as the temperature of the systemsincrease.

The LETC systems may be liquid solutions, solid polymer layers, orsemi-solid polymer layers, physical gels or chemical gels.

The present application discloses LETC systems, ligands, particularlyuseful compositions and combinations of LETC systems.

The present application describes high performance TC systems based oniron, cobalt, nickel and copper ions with a variety of ligands.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The term “substituted” as in “substituted alkyl” and the like, meansthat in the group in question, at least one hydrogen atom bound to acarbon atom is replaced with one or more substituent groups, such ashydroxy, alkoxy, alkylthio, phosphino, amino, halo, silyl, and the like.When the term “substituted” introduces a list of possible substitutedgroups, it is intended that the terms apply to every member of thatgroup.

The term “alkyl” as used herein refers to a branched or unbranchedsaturated hydrocarbon group typically although not necessarilycontaining 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, more particularly containing 1 toabout 6 carbon atoms. The term “aryl” as used herein refers to a groupcontaining an aromatic ring. Aryl groups herein include groupscontaining a single aromatic ring or multiple aromatic rings that arefused together, linked covalently, or linked to a common group such as amethylene or ethylene moiety. In particular embodiments, arylsubstitutents include 6 to about 50 atoms other than hydrogen, typically6 to about 20 atoms other than hydrogen. Furthermore, the term “aralkyl”refers to an alkyl group substituted with an aryl group typicallycontaining from 7 to 20 carbon atoms.

The terms “heterocycle” and “heterocyclic” refer to a cyclic group,including ring-fused systems, including heteroaryl groups as definedbelow, in which one or more carbon atoms in a ring is replaced with aheteroatom—that is, an atom other than carbon, such as nitrogen, oxygen,sulfur, phosphorus, boron or silicon. Heterocycles and heterocyclicgroups include saturated and unsaturated moieties, including heteroarylgroups as defined below. The term “heteroaryl” refers to an aryl groupthat includes one or more heteroatoms in the aromatic ring.

LETC activity is observed when a temperature change causes theassociation of ligands with transition metal ions to change or exchangein such a way that a variation in the UV, visible and/or the NIR lightabsorption of the system occurs giving a reversible net increase in thesystem's ability to absorb visible and/or NIR light energy as thetemperature is increased. A LETC system includes, at least, one type oftransition metal ion and at least two types of ligands. Unless theligands function as the entire solvent, the system also includes someother type of solvent for the transition metal ion and the ligands sothat they are together in a liquid or a solid solution.

The solvent may be an aqueous, nonaqueous or ionic liquid; aplasticizer; a polymer; some additive(s) dissolved in a polymer; thematrix portion or phase of an organic, inorganic or hybrid gel; theliquid portion or phase of a gel; or some combination of these acting asco-solvents. The solution may be a free flowing or a viscous liquid, anon free flowing or thixotropic gel, or a solid or a semi-solid polymer.All of these solvents provide enough mobility for the ligands totransfer in and out of coordination with transition metal ions.

The present application describes various LETC systems in whichremarkable amounts of transition metal salts, ligand salts, non-ionicligands and other key additives are all dissolved at the same time insolid polymer layers and remain in solution over the temperature rangeof interest of use. Not only can such solutions be prepared, but selectsystems have been discovered that neither form precipitates nor do thelayers develop haze over prolonged periods at elevated temperatures,during numerous temperature cycles or during extensive exposure tosunlight or simulated sunlight.

In the LETC systems of interest, transition metal ions in solution areeither solvated, complexed, coordinated or ligated by ions and/ormolecules. The ions and/or molecules in the primary coordination sphereof the metal ion are often referred to as ligands. For the purpose ofthe present application, any ion or molecule that either solvates,complexes, coordinates, ligates or directly interacts with a metal ion,in such a way that it impacts the light absorption character of thesystem, is referred to as a ligand. Also any transition metal ion insolution is considered to be in a complex or coordination compound evenif the coordinating power of the solvent or other ligands is relativelyweak. Typically, the transition metal is in the form of a cation.

When a transition metal ion is surrounded by certain ligands, a“metal-ligand complex”, (MLC), may be formed which has low molarabsorptivity throughout the visible and NIR range. This MLC is, herein,referred to as a “low ε MLC”, (LεMLC). When the same transition metalion is surrounded by other ligands, a MLC may be formed which has ahigher level of molar absorptivity somewhere in the visible and NIRspectral region. This MLC is, herein, referred to as a “high ε MLC”,(HεMLC). The LεMLC and the HεMLC may absorb at the same or some of thesame wavelengths or at substantially different wavelengths. Both theLεMLC and the HεMLC generally absorb fairly strongly in the UV, andwhile changes in the amount and the wavelengths of UV light absorbed maybe useful aspects of the LETC process the primary applications involvechanges in the visible and NIR absorption ability. The ε in thesedesignations refers to the molar absorption coefficient or molarabsorptivity of the MLC in solution. The units of liters/(mole*cm) areused for ε. HεMLC's have an ε of greater than or equal to 50liters/(mole*cm) at some or at least one wavelength between 400 nm and1400 nm. LεMLC's have an ε of less than 50 liters/(mole*cm) for allwavelengths between 400 nm and 1400 nm.

Any ligand in a LεMLC is, herein, referred to as a low ε ligand, LεL.Any ligand in a HεMLC is, herein, referred to as a high ε ligand, HεL.When a ligand is not coordinated to a transition metal in a LεMLC or aHεMLC, the determination of whether or not the ligand is a LεL or HεL isnot so clear sometimes. Thus for the sake of the present disclosure, thedetermination of ligand type is made by the side on which the ligandappears in the main or predominant equilibrium reaction equation of theLETC system. A ligand, not coordinated to a metal ion, that appears onthe same side of an equilibrium equation as the LεMLC(s) is a HεL. Aligand, not coordinated to a metal ion, that appears on the same side ofan equilibrium equation as the HεMLC(s) is a LεL. This is illustrated bythe following equation:LεMLC+yHεL

HεMLC+xLεL  (1)wherein x and y are numeric variables that designate the number of LεLand HεL, respectively. While most ligands are predominately used as aHεL or predominately used as a LεL, there are exceptions which will beillustrated in the section below on “LETC Reaction Equilibria” and inTable 27.

We understand that a LETC process occurs, as the temperature is raised,because a decrease in LεMLC concentration and an increase in HεMLCconcentration takes place by a change in association of the ligands withthe transition metal ion(s) in the MLC(s). Thus, an increase intemperature causes the number of transition metal ions in LεMLC(s) todecrease and the number of transition metal ions in HεMLC(s) toincrease. This results in a decrease in absorption at the wavelengthsabsorbed by the LεMLC and an increase in absorption at wavelengthsabsorbed by the HεMLC. For the LETC systems described herein, the resultof these MLC transformations is a reversible, net increase in thesystem's ability to absorb sunlight energy as the temperature isincreased.

Some thermochromic systems in the literature are based on the reversibleloss and gain of water by a thermochromic layer. However, in accordancewith certain aspects of the present invention, unless otherwisespecified, the water content of the LETC systems of the presentinvention is kept as low as is reasonably possible. Also, whether or notwater is present, it is believed that the LETC processes describedherein occur just because of the rearrangements in the way ions andmolecules associate and not due to materials lost from or gained by thesystem. Thus, in accordance with certain aspects of the presentinvention, all of the active ingredients in the TC system remain in thesame solution or layer throughout the operation or use of the system.

For discussions of thermodynamics, molar absorption coefficients, etc.it is convenient to use concentrations in molarity. For molarity we usethe definition: “moles of solute per liter of solution” and designatemolarity with the symbol, “M”. However, for making up practicalformulations it is often convenient to use molality. The molality isindependent of temperature whereas molarity is affected by the thermalexpansion of the solution. For molality we use the definition: “moles ofsolute per kilogram of solvent” and designate molality with the symbol,“m”. If concentration is reported in molality, the value for thisconcentration in molarity for this solution may be determined bymeasuring the total volume of the solution after it is prepared.

The components of a LETC system include one or more than one type oftransition metal ion, one or more than one type of LεL, one or more thanone type of HεL and a solvent which provides the medium for the exchangeprocess. The solvent itself may act as a LεL or HεL. Alternatively, theLεL's and/or the HεL's may be a part of the solvent system that helpssolubulize other constituents.

Transition Metal Ions

Described herein are many particularly useful LETC systems based oncomplexes with first row transition metals ions. LETC systems comprisingFe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and/or Cu(II) ions are disclosed herein. In LETCsystems, the transition metal ions are considered electron acceptors.This means that the transition metal ions associate with electron donorsin the sense that Lewis acids associate with Lewis bases. This isdistinguished from the situation of complete electron transfer to anacceptor in which the acceptor is reduced.

Useful transition metal ion concentrations depend on (1) the desiredlevels of absorbance and absorbance change, (2) the path length, (layerthickness), of the LETC system, (3) the ε of the LεMLC and (4) the ε ofthe HεMLC. If the ε of the LεMLC is sufficiently low that its absorbancecan be ignored, and A(T_(H), λ) is the desired absorbance at a highertemperature of operation, (T_(H)), at a particular λ, then the metal ionconcentration, (in moles per liter), must be equal to or greater thanA(T_(H), λ)/(ε(HεMLC, λ)*b). Where b is the path length or layerthickness in centimeters and ε(HεMLC, λ) is the molar absorptioncoefficient of the HεMLC in liter/(mole*cm) at λ. For example, if anA(T_(H), λ)=1 is desired at an elevated temperature, the ε of the HεMLCis 250 liters/(mole*cm) at λ and the desired layer thickness is 0.05 cm,then the minimum transition metal ion concentration would be 0.08M, forthe unlikely event that all the transition metal ion could be shiftedinto the HεMLC. In practice the transition metal ion concentration wouldhave to be higher than 0.08M and preferably would be greater than orequal to 1.5 times the minimum.

Generally, if the ε of the LεMLC is not too high and a thin TC layer isdesired, (as it normally is), then metal ion concentration is made ashigh as possible while still leaving opportunity to provide enough HεLto give a ratio of [HεL_(T)]/[Me_(T)] greater than 4, where the bracketsare used to designate concentration and the subscript T designates thetotal concentration, in any form in the system, in moles per liter. Thus[HεL_(T)] and [Me_(T)] are the total concentrations of various types ofHεL's and various types of Me in the system that could potentiallyparticipate in HεMLC's. The upper limit of transition metal ionconcentration is determined to some extent by the solubility limit ofthe transition metal ions in the system, but more often by thesolubility limit of the HεL and/or the LεL in the system. For mostapplications it is desirable that the system remain free of precipitatesand haze at all temperatures of use, throughout the useful life of thethermochromic system.

The use of metal complexes can be advantageous because just the act ofpreparing complexes often improves the purity of these sources oftransition metal ions. Many simple transition metal salts contain tracesof hydroxides, oxides and oxyhydroxides that cause haziness inthermochromic systems prepared from these salts. Complex formation oftenlargely eliminates or avoids these impurities. Also, many of thenon-ligating impurities which might be present in a batch of ligandmaterial are often excluded when the complex is formed in the process ofsynthesizing the complex. Thus ligands added as part of a complex areoften more pure than ligands added directly to the rest of the system.While complexes, once prepared, may be further purified, surprisingly wehave discovered that just preparing the complexes often eliminates manyof the impurity issues that might otherwise detract from preparingstable, high performance thermochromic systems. In addition, thesecomplexes are often less hygroscopic than most simple metal salts whichassists in preparing systems with low water content. Even complexes thatare hygroscopic are often less prone to forming hydroxides, oxides andoxyhydroxides during storage as compared to metal salts like e.g. simplehalide salts. Significant advantages are also realized with the use ofcomplexes since these complexes are usually more readily dispersed anddissolved in polymers in the LETC layer production process. Thisfacilitates the production of uniform composition and uniformperformance layers especially in the extrusion processes preferred formaking LETC layers.

Types of Ligands in LETC Systems

In LETC systems, the ligands serve as electron donors. This means thatthe ligands associate with transition metals in the sense that Lewisbases associate with Lewis acids. This is distinguished from thesituation of complete electron transfer from a donor in which the donoris oxidized. A definition for HεL's and LεL's is given above. However, amolecule or ion may be a HεL under one set of conditions and a LεL underanother set of conditions, and of course vice versa. Thus one must lookat the main or predominant equilibrium reaction equation of a LETCsystem to see if the ligand is a LεL or a HεL.

A given ligand may coordinate to a metal ion at one or more than onesite around the metal ion. Ligands that coordinate in a single site arereferred to as monodentate and ligands that coordinate in multiple sitesare referred to as polydentate. As the names signify, bidentate,tridentate, tetradentate and hexadentate ligands coordinate in two,three, four and six sites, respectively.

Metal ions may be coordinated by ligands of a single type like many wellknown hexa-aquo coordinated ions in which six water molecules surround ametal ion or when four of a single type of halide anions surround ametal ion as in a tetrahalo-metalate complex. These are known ashomoleptic complexes. However, many heteroleptic, (mixed ligand),complexes are known where two or more different ligand types coordinateto the same metal ion at the same time. For example, a heterolepticcomplex is formed when the ligands around a single metal ion consist oftwo iodide ions and two molecules of some type of phosphine compoundwhich coordinates to metal ions through phosphorus. This is illustratedfor increases in concentration with increasing temperature forCo(II)I₂(Ph₃P)₂ in FIG. 9 and for Ni(II)I₂(Ph₃P)₂ in FIG. 27. Anotherexample is iodide ions and trifluoroacetate ions coordinated at the sametime to Co(II) ions as shown in FIG. 4. Many other TC systems thatinvolve heteroleptic HεMLC's are listed in Table 27.

LεL

The best LεL's promote the formation of LεMLC's with the least amount ofabsorbance, (lowest ε's), and help promote the highest positive valuesof ΔH° and ΔS° for the LETC reaction, (as discussed later). They alsohelp solubilize other system components and help provide desirablephysical properties to TC layers when the layer involves a polymericmaterial which comprises the rest of the TC system.

Hydroxyl groups attached to carbon provide LεL functionality. The MLC's,formed by coordination of ligands to transition metals through hydroxylgroups, tend to have some of the lowest values for ε throughout thevisible light wavelength range. In general, the useful LεL's for LETCsystems include water, diols, triols or polyols. Water is a useful LεLor co-LεL when Fe(II) and/or Cu(II) ions are used in the LETC system.While water is a useful LεL with regard to good thermochromicperformance with other transition metal ions, it is to be avoided orlimited to low concentrations in most LETC systems because of itsrelatively low boiling point and its reactive nature.

Some diols that are useful as LεL's are represented by the followingstructure:

wherein R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄, R₅ and R₆ are independently selected fromstraight, branched, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl; substituted orunsubstituted aryl; or substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl. Somespecific examples of the above structure are: 1,3-Cyclohexanediol;1,1-Bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclopropane; 2,2-Bis(hydroxymethyl)propionicacid; 2,2-Dibutyl-1,3-propanediol; 2,2-Diethyl-1,3-propanediol;2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol; 2,4-Dimethyl-2,4-pentanediol;2,4-Pentanediol; 2-Bromo-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol; Serinol;2-Butyl-2-Ethyl-1,3-propanediol; 2-Ethyl-1,3-hexanediol;2-Methyl-1,3-propanediol; 2-Methyl-2,4-pentanediol;2-Methyl-2-propyl-1,3-propanediol; 2-Methylenepropane-1,3-diol;2-Phenyl-1,3-propanediol; Cyclohex-3-ene-1,1-diyldimethanol;3-Methyl-1,3-butanediol; 3-Methyl-2,4-heptanediol;[2-(2-phenylethyl)-1,3-dioxane-5,5-diyl]dimethanol; Neopentyl Glycol;and Trimethylolpropane allyl ether.

Some triols that are useful as LεL's are represented by the followingstructure:

wherein R is selected from straight, branched, substituted orunsubstituted alkyl; substituted or unsubstituted aryl; substituted orunsubstituted aralkyl; a nitro group; or a substituted or unsubstitutedamino group. Some specific examples of the above structure are:2,2′-(propane-1,3-diyldiimino)bis[2-(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol];2-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-2-(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol;Dipentaerythritol; Pentaerythritol;2-(bromomethyl)-2-(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol;2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-propylpropane-1,3-diol;2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpropane-1,3-diol;2-(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol;2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol; Trimethylolpropane;2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol.

Depending on the transition metal ion, the HεL's, the liquid or polymersolvent used in the LETC system, the following list of LεL's may also beuseful: Di(Trimethylolpropane); L-Fucose; meso-Erythritol;N-propyl-N-pyridin-2-ylpyridin-2-amine; Poly(vinylbutyral);Poly(vinylpyrrolidone); Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol;Tetrahydropyran-2-methanol; Triethanolamine; 1,2,4-Butanetriol;1,2-phenylenedimethanol; 1,2-Hexanediol; 1,2-Propanediol;cis,cis-1,3,5-Cyclohexanetriol; 1,3,5-Pentanetriol;2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,4-dioxane-2,5-diol; 1,4-Butanediol;1,4-Cyclohexanediol; 18-Crown-6; 2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-butanediol;2-Phenyl-1,2-Propanediol; 3-(Diethylamino)-1,2-propanediol;2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)butane-1,4-diol; 3,3-Dimethyl-1,2-butanediol;3-Hydroxypropionitrile; 3-Methyl-1,3,5-Pentanetriol;3-Phenoxy-1,2-Propanediol; 4-Hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone;3-Phenyl-1-propanol; (5-methyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)methanol;Bis(methylsulfinyl)methane; Butyl sulfoxide; Diethylene glycol;Diethylformamide; Hexamethylphosphoramide; 3,3′-oxydipropane-1,2-diol;Dimethyl sulfoxide; Ethanol; Ethylene Glycol; Glycerol; Glycolic Acid;3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)propane-1,2-diol; Lithium Salicylate; LithiumTrifluoroacetate; N,N-Dimethylformamide; 1,1,3,3-Tetramethylurea;2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol; Pentaethylene glycol; Pentaerythritolethoxylate; tetrahydrothiophene 1-oxide; Tributylphosphine oxide;Trimethylolpropane ethoxylate; Trimethylolpropane propoxylate;Triphenylphosphine oxide.

When the transition metal ion is Ni(II) and the use of water as a LεL isproblematic, α and especially β diols are useful LεL's. A diol is an αdiol when two hydroxyl groups are present on adjacent carbons like in2,3-butantediol. A diol is a β diol when two hydroxyl groups are presenton carbons separated by an additional carbon like in 1,3-butanediol. Inmany cases, these α and β diols act as bidentate ligands and they aremore useful than triols because the diols, especially β diols, givehigher positive values of ΔH° and ΔS° for LETC reactions involvingNi(II) ions and most HεL's. In most cases the triols act as tridentateligands and occasionally they are as useful as diols with Ni(II) basedsystems because lower concentrations of triols are required which mayresult in easier processing of the systems which involve polymer layers.

In general, triols are useful LεL's for Co(II) ions in applicationswhere the use of water is problematic. Triols may be more useful thandiols with Co(II) because the tridentate nature of the triols allowsthem to better compete for complexation of Co(II) ions and thus formhigher performance TC systems which also comprise most HεL's of interestfor use with Co(II) ions. With Co(II), the amount of diol required tocompete with most HεL's is too high for most practical applicationsinvolving LETC systems in polymer layers. If the concentrationrequirement for LεL is too high, either that amount of LεL is above thesolubility limit or it is difficult to uniformly disperse in the LETClayer. Alternatively, too much LεL may make it difficult to produce aLETC film or sheet, by e.g., extrusion, because of poor physicalproperties like softness, tackiness, streaks and non-uniform thickness.

LεL character may also be provided by the hydroxyl groups on variouspolyol polymers like hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose,poly(vinyl butyral), poly(vinyl alcohol) andpoly(hydroxyalkylmethacrylates and acrylates). Some of these polymerseven provide β diol type functionality.

Acceptable concentrations of LεL's are determined by the concentrationsof the transition metal ions and the ratio of HεL's to transition metalions. The temperature range of the application and the effectiveness ofthe LεL, (i.e. the stability constant for the formation of the LεMLC),are also important in determining useful concentrations. A specific LεLand its concentration are often chosen such that the absorbance of theLETC layer is less than 0.2 at 25 C and the absorbance still increasesto greater than 0.8 at 85 C. These absorbance changes are for the activewavelength range, (at least at one of the λ_(max) values), of a HεMLC inthe LETC system.

HεL

Particularly useful HεL's include the halides: chloride, bromide andiodide and pseudohalides like cyanate, thiocyanate, selenocyanate, azideand cyanide. Other particularly useful HεL's include molecules or ionswhich coordinate to transition metal ions through nitrogen, oxygen,phosphorus, sulfur and/or selenium. The preferred HεL's are those whichprovide for the highest ε for the HεMLC formed and those whichparticipate in equilibrium reactions with the transition metal ions andthe LεL's wherein there are high positive values of ΔH° and ΔS° for theoverall LETC reaction. Described herein are particularly highperformance LETC systems involving iodide ions as a HεL. Highperformance LETC systems are also disclosed wherein phosphine moleculeswhich coordinate through a phosphorus are used as HεL's. Examples ofthese phosphine compounds include ethyldiphenylphosphine,triphenylphosphine and tricyclohexylphosphine. Particularly highperformance LETC systems involve phosphinates as HεL's. Particularlyhigh performance LETC systems are also described involving phosphinecompounds and iodide in combination and these HεL's in combination withother HεL's. The present application describes LETC systems in which aHεL is a five membered, heterocyclic, organic ring compound whichcoordinates to a transition metal through nitrogen. These ligands haveadvantages over six membered ring compounds which coordinate throughnitrogen in that they are more likely to allow TC activity at 550 nm,which is near the peak of human eye sensitivity for light. Otheradvantages of various ligands are described below.

Not only do iodide and phosphine compounds like Ph₃P and other triaryl,trialkyl mixed aryl/alkyl phosphines, when used together, form HεMLC'swith large values of ε, we have discovered a special effect where anexcess of Ph₃P can minimize or eliminate undesirable residual color in aTC layer produced with these ligands. Presumably this is because thephosphine compound sequesters a small amount of residual I₂ and thusprevents the appearance of a yellow color due to free iodine. This freeiodine may be the result of air oxidation of iodide during processingand this problem is mitigated when an excess of a phosphine compound ispresent. This synergistic effect with or without the use of seals tominimize the ingress of oxygen has allowed for the use and production ofthese high performance, LETC systems. In addition, it has beendiscovered that even when the phosphine compound is not intended to beused as a ligand, that an amount of phosphine compound less thanstoichiometric to the amount of transition metal ion can be used wheniodide is a used as a ligand. Even these small amounts of phosphinecompound are useful to mitigate the effects of residual color formationduring processing of these TC systems into layers.

Useful concentrations for HεL's are largely dependent on the transitionmetal ion concentrations used in the LETC system. Generally it is usefulto have a HεL concentration as high as is chemically possible and/oreconomically possible. Specifically it is useful that the concentrationratio for the HεL's to transition metal ions be greater than 4 and inmany cases that the ratio be greater than 7. This is the ratio for thetotal concentration of all HεL's, [HεL_(T)], to the total concentrationof all transition metal ions, [Me_(T)], which together could potentiallybe involved in forming HεMLC's. The advantages of high ratios of HεL'sto metal ions are discussed below.

Ligands containing a nitrogen-containing 5- or 6-membered heterocycliccompound that coordinates through the nitrogen atom to the nitrogentransition metal ion in an HεMLC formed between the transition metal ionand the ligand are particularly useful. Examples of these ligandsinclude those having the following structure:

wherein X₁ and X₃ are each independently selected from the groupconsisting of C, C—R, N, and N—R; X₂ is C or C—R; X₄ is C, C—R, N, N—R,O, S or Se; X₅ is C, N, S, C—R, each R is independently selected fromthe group consisting of hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted straightor branched alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, aralkyl, andcombinations thereof, provided that optionally two or more R groups maybe joined to form one or more substituted or unsubstituted fusedsaturated or unsaturated ring systems.

Certain HεL's ligands coordinate more strongly and form coordinationcompounds that absorb at certain desirable wavelengths, especially inthe 550 nm region, when there is a nitrogen in a 5 membered ring. Someof these HεL's that are imidazoles, oxazoles, thiazoles or selenazolesare represented by the following structure:

independently represents a nitrogen-containing five or six membered ringand in certain cases is independently chosen from substituted orunsubstituted imidazole, pyridine, benzimidazole, benzothiazole,indazole, pyrazole, etc.

HεL's that function as tridentate ligands that coordinate with 3nitrogens are represented by the following structure:

independently represents a nitrogen-containing five or six membered ringand in certain cases is independently chosen from substituted orunsubstituted imidazole, pyridine, benzimidazole, benzothiazole,indazole, pyrazole, etc.

HεL's that can coordinate in multiple bidentate configurations arerepresented by the following structure:

wherein only 1 or 2 of X, Y and Z are (CH₂)_(n) n=1 to 2 and the othersare a direct bond between N and the ring C, and each

independently represents a nitrogen-containing five or six membered ringand in certain cases is independently chosen from substituted orunsubstituted imidazole, pyridine benzimidazole, benzothiazole,indazole, pyrazole, etc.

In many cases, HεMLC's that involve the ligands with the structuresabove, also involve halides or pseudohalides in the same HεMLC's. Otheruseful HεL's are given in the key section of Table 27.

Solvents

In LETC systems, any solvent that provides for and maintains thedissolution of the metal salt complexes and ligands, allows for thechange or exchange of ligands to take place and does not detract fromthe reversibility or stability of the system is acceptable. Some of thesolvents that we have found, which meet these criteria, are liquids at25 C. These include polar organic solvents like acetonitrile,glutaronitrile, 3-methoxypropionitrile, sulfolane,1,1,3,3-tetramethylurea, dimethylsufoxide, hexamethylphosphoramide,ε-caprolactone, dimethylformamide, ethylene glycol, and propyleneglycol. In many cases it is effective to have a relatively indifferentsolvent with respect to metal ion complexation like propylene carbonateor γ-BL so that the LETC equilibrium is established largely by theinteraction of the LεL's, the HεL's and the transition metal ionsdissolved in the solvent.

Other effective solvents, that are polymers, include poly(vinylalcohol);copolymers of poly(vinylalcohol) with vinyl acetate, methylmethacrylate,ethylene and the like; poly(vinyl acetals) including poly(viny butyral);cellulose acetates; urethanes; hydroxyalkylcelluloses;hydroxy-substituted polyacrylates like poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate)and poly(1-glycerol methacrylate); poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline);poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone); poly(vinyl methyl ether); polyacrylamide;poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide); polyvinylpyridines and various copolymerswhich involve these polymer functionalities. Also useful are solventsystems which involve a combination of one or more than one of thesolvents, which are liquids at 25 C, dissolved in a polymer.Particularly useful are polymers that form solutions of LETC systemsthat will not flow under the influence of gravity alone in thetemperature range of 0 to 100 Celsius. Polymers that form solutions ofLETC systems that are solids in the temperature range of 0 to 100Celsius are particularly useful.

The solvent may also be the solid matrix portion and/or the liquidsolution portion of a gel. In a “chemical gel” there is a liquid phaseand a solid matrix phase. The solid matrix phase may be an inorganicpolymer like in a common sol-gel or it may be an organic polymer whichis crosslinked or a star polymer which forms a three dimensionalnetwork. The liquid phase for a LETC system is preferably one or more ofthe liquids at 25 C listed above. The gel may be a chemical gelincluding a “molecular gel” or a physical gel. For a more detaileddiscussion of gels see: Electrochimica Acta 46, 2015-2022 (2001).

In principle, the solvent may be a molten salt including a lowtemperature or room temperature ionic liquid.

Certain LεL's, especially diols, triols and polyols, are effective inpromoting solubility of other materials in the LETC system. Also, someof these LεL's are good plasticizers for the polymers that serve ascosolvents and matricies in LETC systems.

Types of MLC's

The spectra of many MLC's are relatively well understood; see forexample “Inorganic Electronic Spectroscopy” by A. B. P. Lever, ElsevierPublishing Co. (1968) and (1984) and “Inorganic Chemistry”, 3^(rd)Edition, by G. L. Miessler and D. A. Tarr, Prentice Hall (2004).Generally when a set of ligands coordinates at six sites around themetal ion, the MLC has lower molar absorptivity values in the visibleand NIR. This ligand configuration may be referred to as hexa-coordinateand generally gives the complex an octahedral or nearly octahedralconfiguration. Often, there are some relatively strong absorbances inthe UV even with hexacoordinate complexes due to charge transfer typeabsorptions. However, absorbances due to transitions of electronsbetween molecular orbitals of predominately metal d-orbital character inoctahedral MLC's are generally quite weak. Furthermore, the photonscapable of causing such electronic transitions are almost exclusively inthe visible and NIR. Whether or not a set of ligands gives rise to ahexa-coordinate or octahedral configuration, if a MLC which decreases inconcentration on heating has an ε of less than or equal to 50liters/(mole*cm) throughout the visible and NIR range of 400 nm to 1400nm, then it is hereby defined as a LεMLC.

Generally when a set of ligands coordinates at four sites around themetal ion, the MLC has a higher molar absorptivity in the visible and/orNIR. This ligand configuration may be referred to as tetra-coordinateand generally gives the complex a tetrahedral configuration, a squareplanar configuration or distorted versions thereof sometimes referred toas pseudo tetrahedral or pseudo square planar. Generally, the highermolar absorptivity of these complexes is due to more highly allowedelectronic transitions between molecular orbitals of predominately metald-orbital character. Occasionally the tetra-coordinate complexes havevery strong absorbances due to charge transfer transitions in thevisible portion of the spectrum and we have discovered that these can beused to great advantage in LETC systems. Whether or not a set of ligandsgives rise to a tetra-coordinate configuration, if the MLC thatincreases in concentration on heating has an ε of greater than 50liters/(mole*cm) anywhere in the visible or NIR region then it is herebydefined as a HεMLC.

Given the definitions above for LεMLC's and HεMLC's, a few LETCthermochromic systems of interest actually function by having one HεMLCchange into another HεMLC. In one system like this, the HεMLC thatdominates at lower temperatures absorbs mainly in the NIR and the HεMLCthat dominates at high temperatures absorbs mainly in the visibleportion of the spectrum. See Table 27, entry 359.

Another system like this has a HεMLC that dominates at lowertemperatures with a modest absorptivity in the visible and has a HεMLCthat dominates at high temperatures with a higher absorptivity in theNIR. See Table 27, entries 406, 457, 861 and 901.

Apart from octahedral and tetrahedral configurations, MLC's are known inwhich three, five, seven, eight or even more sites around a metal ionare coordinated. In these cases, we use the same criteria as above todistinguish between them as LεMLC's and HεMLC's.

LεMLC's include Cu(H₂O)₆ ²⁺ and Fe(H₂O)₆ ²⁺. LεMLC's include Ni(II) andCo(II) coordinated by diols, triols or polyols. Some LεMLC's arecoordination compounds with likely formulas: Ni(TMOLP)₂ ²⁺,Ni(2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpropane-1,3-diol)₂ ²⁺,Ni(cis,cis-1,3,5-cyclohexanetriol)₂ ²⁺, Ni(NPG)₃ ²⁺,Ni(2,4-dimethyl-2,4-pentanediol)₃ ²⁺, Ni(3-methyl-1,3,5-pentanetriol)₂²⁺, Ni(poly(vinyl butyral))²⁺, Co(TMOLP)₂ ²⁺, Co(NPG)₃ ²⁺,Co(2,4-dimethyl-2,4-pentanediol)₃ ²⁺,Co(cis,cis-1,3,5-cyclohexanetriol)₂ ²⁺, Co(poly(vinyl butyral))²⁺. Inaddition LεMLC's are useful when diols, triols and polyols are at leastpartially coordinated to the transition metal ions as is often the casewith Ni(II) based systems that also contain nitrogen based ligands.

Some HεMLC's include FeBr₄ ²⁻; CoCl₃(S)⁻; CoBr₃(S)⁻; CoI₃(S)⁻;NiCl₃(S)⁻; NiBr₃(S)⁻; NiI₃(S)⁻; CoCl₄ ²⁻; CoBr₄ ²⁻; CoI₄ ²⁻; NiCl₄ ²⁻;NiBr₄ ²⁻; NiI₄ ²⁻; Cu(S)₂Cl₄ ²⁻; complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), or Cu(II)with ligands which coordinate to metal ions through pseudohalides,nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur or selenium; and complexes ofCo(II), Ni(II), or Cu(II) with combinations of halides or pseudohalidesand ligands which coordinate to metal ions through nitrogen, oxygen,phosphorus, sulfur or selenium. The nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur andselenium may be neutral in charge or they may have a formal negativecharge, (i.e. they may be part of an anion). In the above formulas, (S),represents a solvent molecule, a hydroxyl group or an unknown ligand.One, two, three or four halides of the same type or of two or moretypes, (e.g. both bromide and iodide), may be coordinated to the samemetal ion at the same time. Some HεMLC's involve Co(II) or Ni(II)coordinated to ligands based on pyridine derivatives, pyridazines,dipyridyl derivatives, dipyridylamines, imidazoles, bisimidazoles,indazoles, pyrazoles, benzimidazoles, bisbenzimidazoles, phosphines,phosphinates, thiols, thiol ethers and especially these ligands incombination with chloride, bromide and/or iodide. HεMLC's includecomplexes with ligands that may be mono, bi, tri or tetradentate.

HεMLC's include complexes with ligands based on nitrogen as a heteroatomin a five membered, organic, ring compounds. Nitrogen based ligands infive membered rings have been discovered to form LETC systems withhigher performance, more desirable wavelengths of activity, especiallyin the 550 nm region and/or they are lower cost than many ligands basedon nitrogen as a heteroatom from six membered, organic, ring compounds.Cost considerations aside, these advantages may be due to less sterichinderance for involvement by nitrogen from five membered ring compoundsversus those in six membered ring compounds. On the other hand forproviding absorption peaks in certain other wavelength regions HεMLC'sinvolving ligands with nitrogens in six membered rings are still useful.Also, we have discovered HεMLC's with absorption peaks at desirablewavelengths that involve ligands with nitrogens in six membered ringslike pyridine which have a substituent in a position ortho to thenitrogen. These ligands coordinate to transition metals with a strengththat makes them desirable for combining with other HεMLC's that form inthe same solution and give TC activity over the same temperature range.In addition, these ortho substituted pyridine and pyridine like ligandsare less likely to participate in LεMLC's than unhindered versionsthereof and this results in lower ε's for the LεMLC's. Quinoline and itderivatives are naturally ortho substituted pyridines and thus areeffective in forming HεMLC's with these advantages.

Table 1 shows the HεMLC's for thermochromic systems where the HεMLC'sare based on just Ni(II) ions, a few nitrogen containing ligands andbromide. With good LεL's in these TC systems, we obtain large absorbanceincreases with increasing temperature over the range 25 C to 105 C areobtained. Remarkably, these absorbance increases have λ_(max)'s thatrange all the way from 435 nm to 781 nm.

LETC Reaction Equilibria

Some generalized ligand exchange reactions with monodentate, bidentate,and tridentate LεL's are given by the following equations:Me(mono-dentate)₆ ²⁺+4X⁻

MeX₄ ²⁻+6(mono-dentate)  (2)Me(bi-dentate)₃ ²⁺+4X⁻

MeX₄ ²⁻+3(bi-dentate)  (3)Me(tri-dentate)₂ ²⁺+4X⁻

MeX₄ ²⁻+2(tri-dentate)  (4)

For the present disclosure all of the LETC equilibria reactions arewritten such that the LεMLC is on the left and HεMLC is on the right ofthe mass balance, equilibrium equation. In equilibria reactions (2)through (4), X⁻ is a HεL and the metal ion is changing fromhexa-coordinate to tetra-coordinate. The change from hexa totetra-coordinate is useful but is not required in LETC systems.

As used herein, transition metal ions in solution are always consideredto be complexed or ligated, since even when free in solution, transitionmetal ions are considered to be coordinated by the solvent. However,ligands may participate in a complex or they may be free in solutionwhere the ligands are not coordinated but are simply solvated. Thus,with many LETC systems like those above, the ligand exchange is simplybetween one type of LεL either being ligated to a metal ion or beingfree in solution and one type of HεL either being free in solution orbeing ligated to a metal ion. A specific example of just one of thetypes of equilibrium reactions that fit the above description is givenbelow:

NiCl₄ ²⁻ is a well know MLC from the literature and it is a HεMLC.Ni(TMOLP)₂ ²⁺ is a LεMLC. It is unlikely that the reaction in equation 5proceeds in a single step. However in many cases the observed changes inabsorbance with temperature point to a main or predominant overallreaction like that shown in equation (5).

Under some conditions with, for example, a cobalt-halide system, theobserved spectral changes point to equilibria that are bit less straightforward. In the specific case in equation (6) below, the LεL,1,3-butanediol, of the LεMLC may remain partially coordinated to theCo(II) and thus participate in the HεMLC. This is represented by the1,3-butanediol_(mono) in the formula below. For the sake of convenience,the partially coordinated diol is now said to be a HεL. The bromide, onthe other hand, is the primary HεL and when the bromide is notcoordinated to the Co(II) it appears on the same side of the equation asthe LεMLC, Co(1,3-butanediol_(bi))₃ ²⁺.

Here the term 1,3-butanediol_(bi) is used to designate the1,3-butanediol as acting as a bidentate ligand and the term1,3-butanediol_(mono) is used designate a 1,3-butanediol molecule stillattached to the Co(II) but now in a monodentate fashion whereessentially one hydroxyl oxygen is still coordinated.

More involved LETC reaction equilibria yet are represented by thefollowing equations:Ni(N-Pr-DPamine)(NPG)₂ ²⁺+4Cl⁻

NiCl₄ ²⁻+(N-Pr-DPamine)+2NPG  (7)Ni(N-Pr-DPamine)₃ ²⁺+4Cl⁻

NiCl₄ ²⁻+3N-Pr-DPamine  (8)Ni(N-Pr-DPamine)Cl₂+2Cl⁻

NiCl₄ ²⁻+N-Pr-DPamine  (9)Ni(N-Pr-DPamine)(NPG)₂ ²⁺+2Cl⁻

Ni(N-Pr-DPamine)Cl₂+2NPG  (10)Ni(N-Pr-DPamine)₃ ²⁺+2Cl⁻

Ni(N-Pr-DPamine)Cl₂+2(N-Pr-DPamine)  (11)

From the best of our understanding of this system,Ni(N-Pr-DPamine)(NPG)₂ ²⁺ and Ni(N-Pr-DPamine)₃ ²⁺ are possible LεMLC's.The amount of each of these LεMLC's present depends on the relativeamounts of Ni(II) and especially the relative amounts of NPG andN-Pr-DPamine to each other and to the amount of Ni(II). However, thespectra at lower temperatures do not appear to show the presence ofNi(NPG)₃ ²⁺ when there is one N-Pr-DPamine per Ni(II) present. This isthe case even with an excess of NPG present. This is unfortunate in thatthe absorption coefficient for Ni(N-Pr-DPamine)(NPG)₂ ²⁺ is somewhathigher than that of Ni(NPG)₃ ²⁺. This is very similar to the absorbanceshown in FIG. 18 at 25 C in the 550 nm to 775 nm region for the verysimilar LETC system with Ni(II), N-Pr-DPamine, bromide and TMOLP.LεMLC's like Ni(N-Pr-DPamine)(NPG)₂ ²⁺ result in more absorbance or adarker color than desired at lower temperatures even though the systemhas reasonably good performance otherwise due to a significant increasein absorbance or a darkening in color as the temperature increases.

In the system of equations (7)-(11), NPG is a LεL and chloride is a HεL.N-Pr-DPamine is both a LεL and a HεL. NiCl₄ ²⁻ and Ni(N-Pr-DPamine)Cl₂are HεMLC's. With properly chosen levels of chloride, NPG andN-Pr-DPamine, either NiCl₄ ²⁻ is the main HεMLC formed on heating or itis possible that heating results in an absorbance increase that can beattributed almost exclusively to the complex: Ni(N-Pr-DPamine)Cl₂.Remarkably, these HεMLC's can also form simultaneously on heating overthe same temperature range with the properly chosen concentrations andratios of the materials in equations (7)-(11). Despite the rathercomplicated equilibria possible, this system illustrates the diverseperformance possible when concentrations and concentration ratios arejudiciously adjusted.

As shown above, a ligand that is primarily used as a HεL may remain inplace in the LεMLC. This is the case with many heterocyclic ligands inwhich nitrogen is the heteroatom. For example, solutions of Ni(II) withbromide and 1-EtBIMZ, appear to form two different HεMLC's each of whichis a different shade of blue. One of these complexes is believed to havetwo bromides and two of the benzimidazoles coordinated to the nickel andhas significant absorbance at 550 nm. The other is believed to havethree bromides and one benzimidazole coordinated to Ni(II) and haslittle absorbance at 550 nm. Addition of a good LεL like TMOLP to asolution containing either or both of these complexes decreases theintensity of the blue color. However, a small, (but significant withregard to overall performance), absorption peak at about 640 nm remainseven with a large excess of TMOLP. An absorption peak with this shapeand apparent molar absorptivity is not present for Ni(II) complexed withTMOLP alone or when Ni(II) and bromide are present with or withoutTMOLP. This suggests that at least one, difficult to displace, moleculeof 1-EtBIMZ is present in the LεMLC. While the 1-EtBIMZ is present inthe LεMLC, it is designated as a LεL. Heating a system with appropriateratios and amounts of Ni(II), bromide, 1-EtBIMZ and TMOLP contained inan indifferent solvent or polymer matrix gives a change from light blueto various shades of dark blue. This change in absorbance is presumed tobe due to the increase in concentration of the HεMLC's: Ni(1-EtBIMZ)₂Br₂and/or Ni(1-EtBIMZ)Br₃ ⁻. Depending on the relative concentrations ofNi(II), bromide and 1-EtBIMZ the presumed LETC reactions are those shownin equation (12) or (13) or a combination of these two reactions asshown in equation (14) below.Ni(1-EtBIMZ)(TMOLP_(tri))(TMOLP_(bi))²⁺+3Br⁻

Ni(1-EtBIMZ)Br₃ ⁻+2(TMOLP)  (12)Ni(1-EtBIMZ)(TMOLP_(tri))(TMOLP_(bi))²⁺+2Br⁻+1-EtBIMZ

Ni(1-EtBIMZ)₂Br₂+2(TMOLP)  (13)2Ni(1-EtBIMZ)(TMOLP_(tri))(TMOLP_(bi))²⁺+5Br⁻+1-EtBIMZ

Ni(1-EtBIMZ)Br₃ ⁻+Ni(1-EtBIMZ)₂Br₂+4(TMOLP)  (14)

TMOLP_(tri) and TMOLP_(bi) represent TMOLP acting as a tridentate ligandand as a bidentate ligand where only two of its hydroxyls arecoordinated, respectively. The relative amount of Ni(1-EtBIMZ)₂Br₂versus Ni(1-EtBIMZ)Br₃ ⁻ may be adjusted by judicious choices of therelative amount of bromide vs. 1-EtBIMZ in the system. Large amounts ofbromide relative to 1-EtBIMZ favor the formation of NiBr₃(1-EtBIMZ)⁻,however even very large excesses of bromide do not result in theappearance of the spectra of species like NiBr₃(S)¹⁻ or NiBr₄ ²⁻ whenthere is at least one 1-EtBIMZ molecule per Ni(II) ion present.

Many heteroleptic MLC's are known which involve two or more differentligands on the same transition metal ion, however very few reversible,solution based, thermochromic systems involving ligand exchange to formsuch heteroleptic MLC's have been previously disclosed. Two of thesedisclosed here are shown in the equations (12) and (13) and we havediscovered many more of these systems which are disclosed in Table 27.Through the use of these systems, absorptions can be achieved throughoutthe visible and NIR range which is advantageous from an energy absorbingstandpoint, especially for sunlight blocking applications.

A number of our LETC systems give rise to multiple HεMLC's from theheating of a single composition, even with only a single type oftransition metal ion present. Another good example of this is seen withNi(II), bromide, N-Pr-DPamine with various LεL's. With the proper ratioof bromide to N-Pr-DPamine, heating the system gives rise simultaneouslyto absorption spectra consistent with the presence ofNi(N-Pr-DPamine)Br₂, NiBr₃(S)⁻ and NiBr₄ ²⁻. This type of performancefor a LETC system is shown in FIG. 18. The broad spectral changes thattake place on heating systems like these have distinct advantages whenthere is a desire to relieve glare or reduce energy transmissionthroughout the visible and NIR regions. Broad changes also help providevaluable options for the color appearance of transmitted light. Thesesystems that allow for multiple HεMLC's to form in a single compositionalso provide opportunities to reduce the number of LETC layers requiredfor many applications. Numerous other systems like this are disclosed inTable 27 and several of these systems are shown in FIGS. 4, 14, 17 and28.

Once again, with systems like those in equations (12)-(14), a nitrogencontaining ligand may be present in the LεMLC's. When this is the case,the ε's of the LεMLC are generally larger than if just hydroxyl groupsare present around the metal ion. This higher level of absorptivity is adisadvantage for LETC systems where a large absorbance range is desired.This is because for many applications there is a desire to start with aslittle absorbance or as light a color as possible at low temperaturesand still increase in absorbance or darken in color significantly onincreasing the temperature. However, we have discovered several,nitrogen containing, ligands which do not participate well in a LεMLC.This effect is illustrated by comparing FIGS. 29 and 30. In FIG. 29 thenitrogen containing ligand 6-methyl-2,2′-dipyridyl is believed toparticipate in the LεMLC and give rise to the small but, troublesomeabsorbance between about 575 nm and 750 nm at 25 C. Addition of anothermethyl group to the ligand to give 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyldecreases the absorbance between 575 nm and 750 nm as shown in FIG. 30.This is because the latter, nitrogen-containing ligand is moresterically challenged in trying to participate in the nominallyoctahedral configuration, while it still participates nicely in thenominally tetrahedral configuration around nickel with two bromide ions.Other nitrogen containing ligands with this advantage include6-methyl-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-N-propylpyridin-2-amine,6-butyl-6′-methyl-2,2′-bipyridine,2,2′-propane-2,2-diylbis(1,3-benzothiazole),2,2′-propane-2,2-diylbis(1-propyl-1H-benzimidazole),2,2′-propane-2,2-diylbis(1-pentyl-1H-benzimidazole), several6-alkylsubstituted dipyridylamines and to some extent most orthosubstituted pyridines.

Many TC systems involving Ni(II), bromide and nitrogen based ligandshave little absorbance between about 410 nm and 470 nm and thus theyhave a “valley” or a “well” in the absorption spectra in this wavelengthrange even at elevated temperatures. This valley or well makes thesesystems difficult to use in combination with other systems to achievegray appearance in multilayer systems unless the system with which theyare combined happens to absorb in the 410 nm to 470 nm region. Asignificant advantage is realized when there is at least some increasein absorbance in this range as the temperature increases. As illustratedespecially in Examples 18, 36 and 40 and the corresponding figures,there is a TC phenomenon that we call “well-filling”. In contrast, thereare many systems without well-filling as exemplified by Examples 7, 13,19 and 22. While for Examples 18, 36 and 40 there is no absorption peakin the 410 nm to 470 nm region, at least there is an increase in theabsorbance in the valley or well. What the nitrogen based ligands, ineach of these examples, have in common is a nitrogen as a heteroatom ina ring and they also have an amine nitrogen on a carbon alpha to theheteroatom nitrogen which is also the position on the heterocyclic ringthat is ortho to the heteroatom. Thus it is believed that this nitrogenattached to a position ortho to a heteroatom nitrogen, simply called the“ortho-nitrogen” affect, is responsible for the well-filling effect. Thesystems in Examples 18, 36 and 40 are easier to combine into multilayer,gray systems especially with other systems or layers that have peaks inthe 550 nm to 650 nm region which wavelengths also need to be attenuatedto give a gray appearance.

With regard to well filling, it is useful to have thermochromic systemsin which a HεMLC comprises chloride or bromide coordinated to Ni(II)along with another ligand such that the ratio of the HεMLC's maximumabsorption coefficient in the 475 nm to 550 nm range to the HεMLC'sminimum absorption coefficient in the 425 nm to 475 nm range is lessthan 4 to 1.

An interesting ligand and TC system is presented in FIG. 44. Here thenitrogen containing ligand appears that it might have the possibility ofbeing tridentate. However the spectra of Ni(II) based systems withligands that are believed to coordinate with three nitrogens plus one ortwo halides, like examples 8 and 33, have a main absorption peak atwavelengths between 430 nm and 460 nm. FIG. 44 shows an example ofsystems that have spectra more consistent with the ligand acting as twodifferent bidentate nitrogen based ligands. This is observed even whenthere is only one of this ligand molecule per Ni(II) ion present in thesystem. This is believed to be due to the time dependent switching ofthe coordination of these types of ligands between one type of bidentateconfiguration and another bidentate configuration. In both bidentatecases, in this example, the coordination is believed to be completed bytwo bromide ions. Thus the spectra are consistent with (1) a dipyridylamine with one methyl group-hindered pyridine and two bromides and (2)two pyridines connected in ortho positions by an amine-methylene bridgewith the pyridine connected to the methylene group being methyl grouphindered and two bromides. The absorptions in FIG. 44 between about 400nm and 450 nm are believed to be more likely due to the ortho-nitrogenaffect disclosed above than to any tridentate character of the6-methyl-N-[(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl]-N-pyridin-2-ylpyridin-2-amineligand. This example discloses a remarkable LETC system in terms of asingle system, with a single ligand other than halide, with good grayappearance, a large change in visible light transmission and littlecolor sweep throughout the temperature range of 25 to 105 C. For thespectra in FIG. 44 we calculate Y to be 82.8, 52.8, 21.4, 9.7 and 6.2 at25 C, 45 C, 65 C, 85 C and 105 C respectively. We also calculate c* tobe 12.9, 17.9, 15.0, 9.7 and 5.7 at 25 C, 45 C, 65 C, 85 C and 105 Crespectively.

Multiple kinds of transition metal ions in the same LETC solution orlayer can give rise to at least two types of useful behavior. One typeis illustrated in FIG. 3 in which ions of one kind of metal are largelyin a HεMLC throughout the temperature range of interest and ions of theother kind of metal switch from largely being in a LεMLC at lowertemperatures to largely being in a HεMLC at a higher temperature. InFIG. 3 it appears that the Co(II) has a higher affinity for iodideand/or a lower affinity for TMOLP as spectral peaks consistent with CoI₄²⁻ remain at nearly constant magnitude throughout the to 105 degreeCelsius range. On the other hand, the amount of Ni(II) coordinated byiodide appears to increase and the amount coordinated by TMOLP isbelieved to decrease as the temperature increases. The spectral peakwith a λ_(max) at about 508 nm is consistent with a charge transfer peakin the visible for NiI₄ ²⁻. The system in FIG. 3 has significantadvantages when used in Sunlight Responsive Thermochromic, SRT™, windowsas the nearly temperature independent absorbance of CoI₄ ²⁻ is largelyin the NIR and causes the system to warm on sunlight exposure. The sunexposure induced temperature rise causes an increase in theconcentration of NiI₄ ²⁻ and a decrease in visible light transmission.Any other thermochromic layer in contact with a layer containing thissystem would also increase in temperature and broad visible lightattenuation is possible just from direct sunlight exposure.

The other type of multiple metal ion system is shown in FIG. 10. This isan example of systems where the temperature dependence for the formationof completely different complexes, even involving different kinds oftransition metal ions, allows for the simultaneous formation of multipleHεMLC's of the different kinds of transition metals ions over the sametemperature range, in the same solution. Heating this system causes anincrease in concentration for two HεMLC's at the same time. TheseHεMLC's might be Co(glycerol_(mono))Cl₃ ⁻ and Cu(glycerol_(di))Cl₄ ²⁻.The use of ZnCl₂ in this system is explained in the next paragraph.

Disclosed herein is yet another new type of thermochromic reaction.Here, ligands may exchange between being coordinated or ligated to afirst kind of metal ion and being coordinated or ligated to a secondkind of metal ion. The second kind of metal ion is a transition metalion that forms a HεMLC which includes a ligand previously associatedwith the first kind of metal ion. For the purposes of the presentapplication, the first kind of metal ions are called exchange metals.The exchange metal may be a transition metal or another kind of metal.In “exchange metal” TC systems, ligands which are ligated or coordinatedto one metal shift to being ligated or coordinated to another metal withchanges in temperature. As the ligands shift from one kind of metal toanother kind there are changes in the light absorption of the system.This is particularly effective when the MLC with one of the metals has asignificantly lower molar absorptivity than the MLC with another metalfor the same type of ligands or set of ligands. Zn(II) ions work well inexchange metal TC systems as the MLC's of Zn(II) often absorb little orno visible light and it has been discovered that the ligands in Zn(II)MLC's readily shift to other metal ions such as Co(II), Ni(II) andCu(II) ions as the temperature of the system increases. Exchange metalsfunction in place of or are used in combination with LεL's.

Another example of an exchange metal TC system is shown in FIG. 11 forthe proposed equilibria:4ZnCl₄ ²⁻+Cu(γ-BL)₆ ²⁺

Cu(γ-BL)₂Cl₄ ²⁻+4Zn(γ-BL)Cl₃ ⁻  (15)

Once again the reversible, thermally induced shift in the equilibriumequation gives rise to a LETC process. In this case the chloride isstill the HεL since it is the ligand in the HεMLC. In this case γ-BL isbelieved to play the role of the LεL and the exchange metal ion isZn(II). In the solution of FIG. 10, Zn(II) is also used but this time itis in combination with a LεL, glycerol, to allow the simultaneousformation of HεMLC's of two metals at once as described above.

Mn(II) is of particular interest as an exchange metal because even itstetrahedral MLC's have low molar absorption coefficients; see forexample: F. A. Cotton et. al. J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 84, 167-172 (1962).Exchange metal type LETC systems that have been demonstrated or shouldbe considered are based on Mn(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Sn(II), Cd(II),Cu(II), Al(III) and Sb(V). See Examples 179-188 and Table 12 for moredetails.

LETC systems can be combined with essentially any other thermochromicphenomena. A VO₂ or doped VO₂ film may be included on a substrate thatis in contact with a LETC layer on the other side of the substrate.Alternatively, we have discovered that certain thermochromic materialslike ring opening compounds are compatible with some LETC systems andremarkably they can even be incorporated into the same solution orlayer. FIG. 31 shows the thermochromic performance for a LETC system incombination with a compound known as Oxford Blue and FIG. 32 shows thethermochromic performance for another LETC system in combination with acompound known as Ruby Red. Both of these materials are thermochromicbased on a thermodynamic shift in the equilibrium between thering-closed, colorless form and the ring-opened, highly absorbing form.Ruby Red and Oxford Blue are available from James Robinson LTD ofHuddersfield, England and they are also available from Keystone AnilineCorporation of Chicago, Ill.

Thermodynamics of Reversible Equilibria

LETC processes involve reversible reactions in which the extent of thereaction, (or the position of the equilibrium), is determined by thethermodynamic parameters of the reaction, the temperature of the systemand the total concentrations of each of the reactants/products in thesystem. One of the many types of LETC reactions, which are governed by areversible thermodynamic equilibrium reaction, may be represented by thefollowing equation:Me(LεL)_(x) +yHεL

Me(HεL)_(y) +xLεL  (16)wherein x and y are numeric variables that designate the number of LεLand HεL, respectively. In order for the absorption of the system toincrease with increasing temperature the equilibrium must shift to theright in equation (16) as the temperature increases. This would give anet increase in the light energy absorbed since the ε's for the complexMe(HεL)_(y) are larger than the ε's for the complex Me(LεL)_(x) at manywavelengths in the visible and/or NIR range for nearly all of thesystems disclosed herein. In order for the reaction to be reversible thereaction must shift back to the left the same amount as the temperaturedrops back to its original value. The equilibrium constant for thisreaction is given by:K _(eq)=([Me(HεL)_(y) ][LεL] ^(x))/([Me(LεL)_(x) ][HεL] ^(y))  (17)where the brackets are used to signify concentration, (although to bemore accurate one could use activities). While the equilibrium constantis “constant” at a given temperature for wide variations inconcentration, there is a different “constant” at each temperature. Thetemperature dependence of the equilibrium constant is determined by thestandard free energy change, ΔG°, of the reaction, which in turn isdetermined by the standard enthalpy change, ΔH°, of the reaction. Thiscan be seen from the following well known equations:ΔG°=ΔH°−TΔS°  (18)ΔG°=−RTlnK _(eq)  (19)K _(eq)=exp(−ΔH°/RT)*exp(ΔS°/R)  (20)

For most of the LETC systems we have discovered, ΔH° of reaction isroughly constant over the temperature range of 0 to 100 Celsius. If weassume the value of ΔH° is actually constant over the temperature rangeof interest, then the magnitude of the change of K_(eq) with temperatureis dependent only on the magnitude of ΔH°. Also, for the equilibrium toshift to the right and for the net sunlight energy absorbed by thesystem to increase with a temperature increase, K_(eq) must increase.This can be seen from the mass balance in equation (16) where the[Me(HεL)_(y)] must increase for the absorbance to increase. Given aconstant total concentration of all the ingredients used to make up thesystem, the only way for the equilibrium to shift to the right is forthe value of the equilibrium constant to increase; see equation (17).The value of K_(eq) increases as the temperature increases only if ΔH°is positive as shown in equation (20). The larger the positive value ofΔH° for the equilibrium reaction the larger the increase in the value ofK_(eq), over a given temperature range, as shown by the followingequations:K _(eq)(T _(H))=exp(−ΔH°/RT _(H))*exp(ΔS°/R)  (21)K _(eq)(T _(L))=exp(−ΔH°/RT _(L))*exp(ΔS°/R)  (22)K _(eq)(T _(H))/K _(eq)(T _(L))=exp((ΔH°/R)*(1/T _(L)−1/T _(H)))  (23)where T_(H) and T_(L) are the high and low temperatures over which theLETC system is being evaluated. Equation (23) is independent of ΔS° andshows that the highest performance for a LETC system, in terms of thelargest increase in light absorption, over a given temperature range,comes with the highest positive value of ΔH°. This is supported by thegraph in FIG. 47 which shows the increase in the ratio of equilibriumconstant values for two different temperatures as a function of ΔH°.This is simply a graph of equation (23) for T_(H) equal 85 C and T_(L)equal 25 C, however it is a powerful illustration of the utility ofhaving high ΔH° for LETC reactions.

However, the larger the positive value of ΔH°, at a given temperatureand a given value of ΔS°, the smaller the value of K_(eq). It may bepossible to have such a large positive value of ΔH° giving such a smallvalue of K_(eq) that even a many fold increase in the value of K_(eq)gives little or no observable light absorption change. This may happenbecause the [Me(HεL)_(y)] is so low that even a many fold increase in[Me(HεL)_(y)] with temperature is still a small concentration. Thus alarge positive value of ΔS° is desirable, (if not necessary), inconjunction with a large, positive ΔH° if a reasonably low concentrationof materials or a reasonably small path length, (layer thickness), is tobe used. In essence, the ΔS° of the equilibrium reaction is important inthat its value helps determine the position of the equilibrium at eachtemperature, while ΔH° determines the temperature dependence. FIG. 48helps illustrate the influence of ΔS° on the effective temperature rangefor absorbance changes for LETC reactions like:Me(LεL)₃+4HεL

Me(HεL)₄+3LεL  (24)

FIG. 48 shows the absorbance calculated for a wavelength where the onlyLεMLC Me(LεL)₃ has as ε of 1 liters/mole*cm at λmax of the HεMLC and theonly HεMLC Me(HεL)₄ has an ε of 280 liters/mole*cm at λmax of the HεMLC.The absorbance is calculated as a function of temperature by firstcalculating an equilibrium constant at each temperature based on the ΔS°values shown in FIG. 48 and a ΔH° of the reaction of 60 kJ/mol. Then theconcentrations of Me(LεL)₃ and Me(HεL)₄ at each temperature arecalculated based on the equilibrium constant and the values:[Me_(T)]=0.2M, [HεL_(T)]=1.6M and [LεL_(T)]=2.5M. The concentrations ofMe(LεL)₃ and Me(HεL)₄, the values of the ε's and a path length of 0.075cm are used to determine absorbance values. FIG. 48 confirms that whilethe overall magnitude of the absorbance change with temperature isdetermined by the value ΔH°, the temperature range where this absorbancechange takes place is highly dependent on ΔS°. FIG. 48 illustrates howimportant it is to find reversible equilibria reactions not only withlarge positive values of ΔH°, but also with appropriately large positivevalues of ΔS°, if LETC systems are to operate over especially usefultemperature ranges like 0 C to 100 C.

The present application discloses many LETC systems in which not onlyare there large positive values for ΔH° and ΔS°, these values are suchthat there is significant thermochromic activity over the 0 C to 100 Ctemperature range. This has been done by choosing systems which combinetransition metal ions, HεL's, LεL's and solvent systems to give thedesirable values of ΔH° and ΔS° which allow for large absorbance changesover a desirable temperature range. In general a ΔH° value from 40kJ/mol to about 90 kJ/mol for the reversible LETC reaction is useful. Ingeneral it is also useful that the value of ΔS° in J/mol*K be such thatwhen the value in J/mol*K is divided by the value of ΔH° in kJ/mol, thatthe quotient be between 1.5 and 3.5 even though the units of thisquotient may not be meaningful. Thus e.g. if ΔH° is 40 kJ/mol then it isdesirable to have ΔS° between 60 J/mol*K and 140 J/mol*K. Once thesystem, with its thermodynamics, is chosen, we have discovered how tooptimize the system even further by judicious choices of concentrationsand ratios for the constituents involved, especially for relatively thinlayers in polymers. This is illustrated in many of the examples and isdiscussed further below.

Good performance for a chosen LETC system comes when the ratio of thetotal concentration of all HεL's to the total metal ion concentration,[HεL_(T)]/[Me_(T)], is as high as possible. This is illustrated in FIG.49 with a calculation based on a system with the following LETCequilibrium equation for a bidentate LεL and a monodentate HεL:Me(LεL)₃+4HεL

Me(HεL)₄+3LεL  (25)

The system is assumed to have the following very realistic parameters:

-   -   ΔH°=50 kJ/mol    -   ΔS°=110 J/mol*K    -   ε(Me(LεL)₃)=1 l/mol*cm at λ_(max) of HεMLC    -   ε(Me(HεL)₄)=280 l/mol*cm at λ_(max) of HεMLC    -   Layer Thickness=b=0.075 cm    -   [Me_(T)]=0.2M

Equation 25 is assumed to be the only equilibrium of interest, which maybe nearly the case for many of our systems, especially those in anindifferent or poorly coordinating solvent. Also assumed are (1) all ofthe metal ions are present in the LεMLC Me(LεL)₃ or the HεMLC Me(HεL)₄;(2) all of the HεL's molecules are free in solution or part of theHεMLC; and (3) all of the LεL's molecules are free in solution or partof the LεMLC. The thermochromic behavior in many of the figures hereinshows these assumptions to be reasonable.

For each ratio, R, of [HεL_(T)]/[Me_(T)], the [LεL] was determined whichwould give the system an absorbance of A=0.8 at 85 C based on the aboveparameters, equilibrium equation and the equation:A=ε(Me(LεL)₃)*b*[Me(LεL)₃]+ε(Me(HεL)₄)*b*[Me(HεL)₄]  (26)

The value of [HεL_(T)] is determined by the value of R being used andthe specified [Me_(T)]. The [LεL] values that were determined and thenused are shown in FIG. 49. Using these [LεL]'s, the absorbances atvarious temperatures throughout the 25 C to 85 C range were calculatedfor each ratio of [HεL_(T)]/[Me_(T)]. Then the absorbances versustemperature were plotted in FIG. 49. This graph shows that there issignificant improvement in absorbance change over this temperature rangeas the ratio of [HεL_(T)]/[Me_(T)] is increased even though the requiredamount of LεL also increases.

In many practical applications there is a desire to have a TC layer asthin as possible. LETC systems with thicknesses in the range of 0.02 to0.5 cm with reasonable to excellent performance are disclosed herein. Toachieve high performance in thin films a relatively high concentrationof metal ions should be present. However, there is a trade-off betweenhow high the metal ion concentration needs to be and the desire for alarge ratio of [HεL_(T)] to [Me_(T)], especially when solubility limitsare taken into account.

As discussed before, the theoretical minimum metal ion concentrationsdepend on (1) the desired level of absorbance at an elevated temperatureand a particular wavelength or series of wavelengths, (2) the pathlength, (layer thickness), of the LETC system and (3) the ε of theHεMLC. If an absorbance of at least, A(T_(H), λ), is desired at a highertemperature of operation at some λ, then the minimum metal ionconcentration must be greater than or equal to A(T_(H), λ)/(E(HεMLC,λ)*b); where b is the path length or layer thickness in centimeters.Practically, we have discovered that the preferred minimum [Me_(T)] is1.5 times the theoretical minimum.

By analogy to the previous analysis, the maximum [Me_(T)] to be used isless than or equal to A(T_(L), λ)/(E(LεMLC, λ)*b). Thus usefultransition metal ion concentrations are given by the following range:A(T _(L),λ)/(ε(LεMLC,λ)*b)>[Me]>1.5*(A(T _(H),λ)/(ε(HεMLC,λ)*b))  (27)where A(T_(L), λ) is the desired absorbance at λ at some lowertemperature, T_(L), and A(T_(H), λ) is the desired absorbance at λ atsome higher temperature, T_(H).

Of course the total metal ion concentration, [Me_(T)], is alsoconstrained by the solubility limit of the LεMLC's and the HεMLC's inthe system over the temperature range of operation as all of the Me inthe system is either in LεMLC's or HεMLC's. The [Me_(T)] is alsoconstrained by the ability of the system to provide an adequate [HεL].Thus the useful [Me_(T)] is also determined by:[Me _(T)]≦0.25*(solubility limit of [HεL])  (28)

Reasonably good, although still approximate, values for ε can be foundwith a known metal ion concentration and an appropriate excess of LεL orHεL so that essentially all of the metal is converted to or is presentin the LεMLC or the HεMLC form. The measured absorbance divided by thepath length and the total metal ion concentration provides useful valuesof ε(LεMLC) and of ε(HεMLC). The following approximate ε values, mostlyin γ-BL, were determined by such a procedure and can be used tocalculate maximum and minimum preferred [Me_(T)] in a variety of LETCsystems since the value of ε for coordination compounds is notparticularly sensitive to the solvent involved:

Given the advantages of large ratios of [HεL_(T)]/[Me_(T)], and thedesire for high [Me_(T)] and the desire for thin layer LETC systems, itbecomes important to find highly soluble versions of HεL's. Fortunately,we have found that high, effective concentrations of halides in polymersystems may be achieved when ammonium and phosphonium cations that aretetrasubstituted are used. The substituents on nitrogen or phosphorusmay be alkyl, aryl or combinations thereof.

After consideration of [Me_(T)] and [HεL_(T)], comes [LεL_(T)]. In fact,when high concentrations of [Me_(T)] and [HεL_(T)] are used, thelimitation on the practicality of the system may depend on thesolubility limit or physical properties imparted by the LεL(s). As longas the [LεL_(T)] is below its solubility limit and the limit wherephysical properties of the system become unacceptable, the specific LεLand its concentration are preferably chosen such that the absorbance ofthe LETC system, (even when the system is a thin polymer layer), is lessthan 0.2 at 25 C while the absorbance still increases to greater than0.8 at 85 C. These absorbances are for the active wavelength range of TCactivity for the particular LETC system. These ranges of TC activity areillustrated in FIGS. 1-46 in liquid solution with a large, (1 cm), pathlength. However, more remarkable are the results in FIGS. 51-58 forpolymer layers with thicknesses from 0.031 to 0.098 cm. Many more rangesof absorbance changes are given in Table 27.

Thus, a high metal ion concentration is desirable as long as it ispossible to still have large a ratio of [HεL_(T)]/[Me_(T)] and aconcentration of LεL high enough to provide a desirable absorbancerange. Another advantage of having large values for [HεL_(T)] and[LεL_(T)] can be seen by considering the mass balance and equilibriumequations below.Me(LεL)_(x) +yHεL=Me(HεL)_(y) +xLεL  (29)K _(eq)=([Me(HεL)_(y) ][LεL] ^(x))/([Me(LεL)_(x) ][HεL] ^(y))  (30)

If the [HεL_(T)] and [LεL_(T)] are both large relative to [Me_(T)], thenthe concentrations of free, non-coordinated HεL and LεL change only asmall amount during a temperature induced shift in equilibrium. Smallpercentage changes in concentration of non-coordinated LεL and HεLduring a temperature induced shift in equilibrium corresponds withlarger changes in [Me(HεL)_(y)] and [Me(LεL)_(x)] than would be achievedotherwise. Thus when the ratio of HεL to metal ion is large and at thesame time there is a large and appropriate concentration of LεL oneobtains the highest performance for the system over a given temperaturerange.

Polymers

In LETC systems, polymers may provide a variety of functions. They mayserve as:

-   -   a solvent or cosolvent    -   an indifferent matrix for the rest of the system    -   the solid phase of a gel    -   some or all of the LεL character    -   some or all of the HεL character    -   a laminating material which may also provide shatter resistance    -   TC or non-TC plastic substrates which may serve as window panes    -   separator layers    -   barrier layers    -   sealants    -   a combination of the above functions

Polymers for TC Layers

Sometimes polymer layers are referred to as films below a certainthickness and are referred to as sheets above that thickness. The LETClayers of the present invention may be films or sheets and may be freestanding or suspended as a separate layer. Alternatively, the layers maybe placed on a substrate or between substrates or be used to laminatesubstrates together. Remarkably, our LETC reactions take place in solidpolymer based systems fast enough that there is essentially no lag timebetween the temperature change and the change in absorbance, at least onthe time scale of 10 to 20 seconds.

Polymers for LETC layers include: poly(vinylalcohol), poly(vinylbutyral), poly(vinylethylene-co-vinylalcohol), poly(vinylacetate),poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone), urethanes, hydroxyalkylcelluloses,hydroxy-substituted acrylates and their copolymers. Other polymerpossibilities include: poly(2-vinylpyridine), poly(1-glycerolmethacrylate), cellulose carboxymethyl ether salt, cellulosehydroxyethyl ether, poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline), poly(hydroxyethylmethacrylate) and its copolymers, poly(vinyl methyl ether),polyacrylamide and poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide).

One of the polymers, poly(vinyl butyral), (PVB), is made in multiplesteps. Generally, polyvinylacetate is hydrolyzed to remove most of theacetyl groups and form polyvinylalcohol. Then most of the alcohol orhydroxyl groups are reacted with butyraldehyde to forms cyclic acetalgroups. The PVB formed is thus a copolymer sometimes referred to as:poly(vinylbutyral-co-vinylalcohol-co-vinylacetate). PVB for many LETCsystems has a high hydroxyl content and provides substantial LεLcharacter. The cyclic acetal portion of the PVB acts as a good andindifferent solvent for many of the other constituents of the LETCsystem. Preferred hydroxyl content in this case is 18% or greater ofthat originally present in the poly(vinyl alcohol). For a few LETCsystems where little LεL character is required, as for example withiodide and/or phosphine compounds as HεL's, PVB with lower hydroxylcontent is may be used.

PVB is a useful polymer since it is well suited for use in lamination ofglass sheets. However, in the presence of water and possible catalyststhe acetal groups are subject to hydrolysis which would freebutyraldehyde molecules. These molecules could subsequently react withmonomeric LεL's which are β-diols. In this case it is preferred thatwater be removed as much a possible by pre-drying materials to beprocessed, venting during extrusion and/or drying of the LETC layerprior to subsequent use. Also, it is possible to use “monomeric” LεL'sthat are diols, triols or polyols that have β-diol functionality whereinone or both of the hydroxy groups is a secondary or a tertiary alcoholwhich helps prevent this “trans-acetalation” of the cyclic acetalmoieties from the PVB to the other LεL's present. This is particularlyimportant when the other LεL is more effective than the PVB at providingLεL character since the trans-acetalation process may decrease theoverall amount of LεL character in the system. This is shown in thefollowing undesirable reaction scheme:

LETC layers, based on PVB as a polymer matrix, may be effectively mixedand extruded in one step using a twin screw extrusion system. Thisavoids a separate, potential costly or thermally damaging compoundingstep. The twin screw system allows mixing and dissolution of the LETCmaterial in PVB and the use of a gear pump between the end of theextrusion barrel and a film forming die allows the production of highquality films. The materials may be pre-dried and the extruder may bevented to allow additional water and other gases to be removed from thepolymer prior to and during production of LETC layers. The materialsthat are fed into an extruder may be purged with an inert gas likenitrogen or argon. However, a LETC layer in PVB may be produced withoutthe need for inert atmosphere conditions in the feed process as long asthe extruder and die temperatures are kept below 150 C. The use ofprocessing temperatures below 150 C is particularly advantageous insystems where iodide and/or phosphine compounds are used as HεL's toprevent irreversible discoloration in the layer produced. Above thistemperature, the performance of the LETC layer produced may be seriouslycompromised.

Substrates

A substrate may serve as a mechanical support for LETC system or layerswhen they are not free standing by themselves. However, substrates arenot considered part of the LETC system unless the LETC system itself isa free standing plastic sheet. If a LETC system is soft and has littlestructural integrity, it may simply be coated on a substrate.Alternatively, a pair of substrates, generally each made out of the samematerial, may be laminated together with a LETC layer which comprises apolymer. Here the substrates provide mechanical support and provide asymmetrical configuration that is not prone to bowing on heating. Bowingis minimized when the thermal expansion coefficients of the substratesare the same or closely matched. The laminate formed by two substratesbonded together with a LETC layer may act a safety or impact resistantwindow pane. This is especially valuable for bullet resistant andhurricane resistant window panes. In a laminate configuration thesubstrates may act as barriers to the ingress of oxygen, water and othercontaminates over the area of the LETC layer. To provide an overallbarrier, the edges of the laminate may be sealed.

Useful substrates include plastics and glass. Useful plastics for use assubstrates include acrylic and polycarbonate sheets. Useful glass sheetsare float glass or drawn sheets. Useful glass sheets for use assubstrates are ones that have been have been cut very cleanly or haveedge treated by seaming, grinding, mechanical or flame polishing and/or“pencil” edging so they resist cracking when heated. Also useful areglass sheets which have been heat strengthened, heat tempered orchemically tempered so that they also resist cracking when heated,especially when non-uniformly heated.

An approach has been developed in which a PVB film is bonded on one sideof a tempered or heat strengthened sheet of glass and a thin film ofplastic film is bonded to the PVB to provide a good optical qualitysurface. Examples of the thin plastic films are polyester, poly(esterterephthalate), poly(acrylic) or poly(carbonate). The thin plastic filmmay have an “excited” surface or adhesion promoting coating on the sideto be bonded to the PVB. Excited surfaces may be provided by plasma,corona or ozone treatment. The thin plastic film may optionally becoated with a low emissivity or NIR reflective coating on one or both ofits surfaces. This structure was prepared with tempered glass and itwithstood temperature ranges from −40 C to +100 C without warping,bowing or delaminating. Even a thermo-shock test on going directly froma freezer at −40 C to +100 C did not cause breakage or delamination. Thecombination of using tempered or heat strengthened glass, PVB with goodthermal expansion/contraction characteristics and a thin plastic filmwith an excited surface has allowed for this advantageous light weight,low cost and highly durable structure.

Plasticizers

LETC systems, contained in polymers, benefit from the presence ofplasticizers. The benefits include ease of processing in for example anextrusion process including lower extrusion temperature, lower torqueand better mixing. Plasticizers increase ease of product handling as thelayers produced with plasticizers are easier to roll-up and processlater in, for example, a lamination process or a pre-lamination process.

The plasticizers may be any material known in the art of plastics andpolymer processing as a good plasticizer for the particular polymer inwhich a LETC system is contained, as long as the plasticizer does notseriously degrade the performance or durability of the LETC system. Forexample, if the polymer is poly(vinyl butyral), conventionalplasticizers are found in the art and include diesters of triethyleneglycol, of tetraethylene glycol, of adipic acid or of phthalic acid.

Plasticizer character is also provided by materials not conventionallyused as plasticizers. Thus, diols and triols, in the amount normallyused to provide LεL character, are effective plasicizers. In addition,quaternary ammonium and quaternary phosphonium halides are alsosurprisingly good at plasticizing LETC polymer layers. Theseligand-plasticizers are effective in plasticizing poly(vinyl butyral) sothat it is easier to process into a film or sheet by extrusion at lowertemperatures and the films or sheets are easier to process furtherespecially when it comes to lamination of the LETC layer between sheetsof glass or making a pre-laminate with a separator layer as describedbelow.

Other unconventional plasticizers that not only help provide enhancedprocessing and desirable physical properties to the LETC layers producedmay also provide enhanced solubility for LETC system components. Theseunconventionaly plasticizers include solvents like: acetonitrile,glutaronitrile, 3-methoxypropionitrile, sulfolane,1,1,3,3-tetramethylurea, dimethylsufoxide, hexamethylphosphoramide,propylene carbonate, γ-butyrolactone, ε-caprolactone anddimethylformamide.

While liquids may be used as plasticizers, we have found that there aretimes when it is useful to have a plasticizer that is a solid powder atroom temperature. This allows the plasticizer to be physically mixedinto the polymer resin without causing the mixture to become sticky anddifficult to feed from a feed hopper into the feed throat of anextruder. Particularly useful materials that act as plasticizers and aresolids at room temperature are the LεL diols and triols which are roomtemperature solids. Some of these with their melting points are givenbelow.

Stabilizers and Additives and Barriers

Stabilization of LETC systems involves preventing or minimizingdegradation due to heat and/or light induced reactions of materialswithin the system or reactions with materials which come from theenvironment. Of course the best approach to stability is to findmaterials that are inherently high in stability and we have discoverednumerous LETC systems with good to excellent inherent stabilityincluding certain systems involving Ni(II) coordinate by iodide andNi(II) coordinated by iodide in combination with other ligands. Somewhatless desirable than good inherent stability is to provide barriers andseals against the ingress of things that contribute to degradation,especially oxygen, water and ultraviolet light. This approach isdiscussed below with regard to barriers and in the section on seals.Even less desirable, yet still an important approach, is to provideadditives which help deal with degradation processes via competitivelight absorption, tying up degradation products or inhibiting furtherdegradation.

LETC systems described herein exhibit excellent inherent stability. Manyof these systems have been exposed to temperatures of 80 C for more than10,000 hours with little or no degradation. Also, thermal stabilizershave been found which are compatible with the LETC systems and provideenhanced thermal stability. These include antioxidants and free radicalinhibitors such as the hindered phenols. Some useful thermal stabilizersinclude 2,6-di-tertbutyl-4-methylphenol, (BHT), Irganox® 245, Irganox®1010, Irganox® 1035, Irganox® 1076 and Irganox® 5057. The Irganox®materials are available from Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corporation ofTarrytown, N.Y.

Photodegradation, especially from short wavelength light, (like UV andshort wavelength visible light), is an issue for many chromogenicsystems including at least some LETC systems. Short wavelength light maybe blocked by an absorbing barrier placed between a vulnerable layer anda source of UV and short wavelength visible light like the sun. Multiplelayers of LETC systems are used in some cases to achieve broad spectralcoverage and a particular color appearance, especially a grayappearance. A highly advantageous configuration for the multilayer LETCsystems is described below. This involves placing UV absorbing materialsin a layer which itself is less vulnerable to photodegradation. Thislayer is then placed between a source of short wavelength light andlayers which are more vulnerable to photodegradation. Other advantageousconfigurations involve a short wavelength light absorbing barrier beingprovided by a substrate layer or even by a separator layer placedbetween the light source and the more vulnerable layers. The advantagesof these configurations should not be underestimated, especially whenone considers the difficulty in providing effective light absorbingbarriers for most chromogenic systems.

Short wavelength absorbing additives, sometime called “UV absorbers”,may be divided into two groups. The first group includes materials whichsimply absorb short wavelength light. Materials of this group areethyl-2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylate and(2-ethylhexyl)-3,3-diphenylacrylate available from BASF Corporation ofRensselaer, N.Y. as Uvinul 3035 and Uvinul 3039 respectively. The secondgroup involves absorbers of short wavelength light which also functionas stabilizers against the propagation of degradation initiated by lightexposure. Materials of this group are hydroxybenzophenones,hydroxyphenylbenzotriazoles and hydroxyphenyltriazines. Examples ofthese materials sold under the trade names: Tinuvin® P, Tinuvin® 213,Tinuvin® 234, Tinuvin® 326, Tinuvin® 327, Tinuvin® 328, Tinuvin® 400,Tinuvin® 405 and Tinuvin® 479. These materials are available from CibaSpecialty Chemicals Corporation of Tarrytown, N.Y. Also useful arenickel salt stabilizers like dialkyldithiocarbamates which are good UVabsorbers even though they are bit yellow in polymer films.

Also useful are nickel salt stabilizers likebis(dialkyldithiocarbamates)Ni(II) which are good UV absorbers eventhough they are bit yellow in polymer films. While these materials weregenerally considered to only be good absorbers, there is some literatureto support the possibility that these material may also participate instabilization by chemical means.

These short wavelength absorbing additives, not only promote stabilityas part of LETC system or layer, they can be added to a polymer like PVBand extruded in a film with excellent UV barrier properties. Barrierfilms with a cutoff of about 390 nm have been prepared with 0.5 weight %Tinuvin® 326 in an approximately 500 micron thick layer of Butvar® B-90which was plasticized with tri(ethylene glycol) bis(2-ethylhexanoate). Acutoff of about 400 nm is obtained under similar conditions with 1weight % Tinuvin® 326 in a similar film.

Any of the UV absorbing materials disclosed herein may be used as shortwavelength absorbers in barrier layers, LETC layers, plastic substratesand separator layers. However, some of the second group UVstabilizer/absorber materials are somewhat effective at complexing tometal ions and these complexes are not always stable with time.Therefore when materials from the second group are added directly toLETC systems or layers it is useful to choose the materials which aresterically hindered against strong complex formation or are inherentlypoor complexing agents. The more useful materials from group two in thiscase are Tinuvin® 213 Tinuvin® 234 Tinuvin® 326, Tinuvin® 327, Tinuvin®328, Tinuvin® 400, Tinuvin® 405 and Tinuvin® 479.

FIG. 42 is a good illustration of the addition of UVabsorber/stabilizers directly to a LETC system. Here the Tinuvin® 405does not appear to interfere by coordinating the Ni(II) ions. Also, FIG.42 shows that the absorbance of the system is very high at wavelengthshorter than about 380 nm. This system is thus a great barrier for anysystem that might be behind this system when it is exposed to sunlight.

Also effective in helping stabilize LETC systems and short wavelengthabsorbing barriers are light stabilizers that themselves are not veryeffective at absorbing short wavelength light. Preferred materials ofthis type are hindered amine light stabilizers, (HALS). Useful HALSinclude Tinuvin® 144, Tinuvin® 765 and Tinuvin® 770 available from CibaSpecialty Chemicals Corporation of Tarrytown, N.Y.

The present application also discloses the use of the inherent or thethermally induced short wavelength absorbing ability of LETC systemslike those involving nickel ions and bromide ions. As seen in FIGS. 1and 54, LETC systems like these provide outstanding absorption of shortwavelength light especially at higher temperatures. These LETC systemsor layers may be used to protect layers that are more vulnerable tocombined thermal and photodegradation. Also some of these layers withNi(II) and bromide are inherently photostable on their own so they arebetter suited to being exposed to sunlight and acting as barriers infront of many other more UV sensitive LETC systems.

UV barriers were found to be effective in extending the useful life ofLETC systems. In particular, when a thermochromic like that of FIG. 52was laminated between pieces of plain glass, the laminate had less than2% haze as measured based on the amount of scattering of transmittedlight. After 500 hours of exposure to 0.55 watts per square meter at 340nm from a xenon arc lamp in a chamber with a black panel temperature ofgreater than 80 C, a gray hazy precipitate formed gave the laminate ahaze level over 10%. A laminate was prepared with three polymer layersbetween two sheets of plain glass. The polymer layers were: 1) a UVbarrier layer containing Tinuvin® 326 in PVB that cutoff wavelengths oflight less than 390 nm; 2) a poly(ester-terephthalate) separator; and 3)a layer of the same type of thermochromic system as above. After thislaminate was exposed with the UV barrier facing the xenon arc lamp,almost no gray hazy precipitate formed in the TC layer, the haze levelwas less than 5% and the overall TC performance remained nearlyunchanged.

Separators and Pre-Lamination

Separator layers may be desirable in multilayer thermochromic systems toprevent intermixing of the thermochromic materials. It is particularlyuseful for the separator layer to have an index of refraction close tothat of the polymers used in the thermochromic layer so that reflectivelosses will be minimized. For example, poly(vinyl butyral) is an oftenused polymer for a LETC layer and it is reported to have an index ofrefraction from 1.485 to 1.490. When the LETC layer is contained in alayer of poly(vinyl butyral), plastic materials with good index ofrefraction match that may be used as chemical separators or diffusionbarrier layers between LETC layers may be selected from the followingTable:

TABLE 5 Refractive Polymer Index Poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) 1.463Poly(vinyl propionate) 1.466 Poly(vinyl acetate) 1.467 Poly(vinyl methylether) 1.467 Poly(ethylene succinate) 1.474 Cellulose acetate butyrate1.475 Cellulose acetate 1.475 Ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer-40% vinylacetate 1.476 Ethyl cellulose 1.479 Poly(methyl acrylate) 1.479Poly(oxymethylene) 1.480 Ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer-33% vinylacetate 1.482 Poly(n-butyl methacrylate) 1.483 Ethylene/vinyl acetatecopolymer-28% vinyl acetate 1.485 Poly(methyl methacrylate) 1.489Polypropylene, isotactic 1.490 Methyl cellulose 1.497 Poly(vinylalcohol) 1.500 Poly(vinyl methyl ketone) 1.500 Poly(ethylene glycoldimethacrylate) 1.506 Poly(isobutylene) 1.510 Polyethylene, low density1.510

Other, useful separators include polycarbonates, poly(esterterephthalates) and other polyesters, especially those polycarbonatesand polyesters that are hydrophobic or poor at solubilizing salts. Inaddition, crosslinked or highly crystalline materials may be used asseparators or diffusion barriers. For example poly(vinyl alcohol) isreasonably hydrophilic but in the absence of water it is a good barrierbecause of a high degree of order due to strong hydrogen bonding.Crosslinking in a separator in general may also be effective in theprevention of diffusion or migration of non-ionic ligands likepyridines, imidazoles and phosphines. Alternatively, non-ionic ligandsmay be attached to a polymer in the LETC layer or may be modified withthe attachment of polar or ionic substituents so they are less likely todiffuse through a separator. For example 1-hydroxyethybenzimidazole anda benzimidazole substituted with a quaternary ammonium group are lesslikely to diffuse through a hydrophobic, polymeric, separator layer thanan alkyl substituted benzimidazole like 1-EtBIMZ.

An alternative type of separator may be provided by a thermoset type ofadhesive that is used to bond multiple LETC layers together. Theadhesive forming system may contain reactive groups which optionallyform bonds directly to a polymer in the LETC layer. For example theadhesive may contain isocyanate groups which are part of a polyurethaneadhesive which covalently bond also to hydroxyl groups of a hydroxylgroup containing polymer on the surface of a LETC layer and make thesurface of the layer less permeable in the process. Other adhesivesystems include epoxies, silicones and acrylates.

When multi-layer thermochromic systems are used or when a separate UVbarrier layer is used to protect a thermochromic layer, it may bedesirable to prepare a pre-laminate. This pre-laminate may be preparedby an in-line process by co-extruding the thermochromic layer(s),optional barrier layer and the separator layer(s) at the same time, andthe layers may be bonded together while the polymer layers are still hotfrom the extruder dies. Alternatively, the layers may be extrudedtogether in a multi-manifold die to produce a barriers, TC layers andseparator in an intimately bonded stack.

A pre-laminate may also be prepared in an off-line process in which abarrier layer is bonded to one or more thermochromic layers with one ormore separator layers. Alternatively, two or more thermochromic layersmay be pre-laminated together with one or more separator layers in anoff line process. In the off line process, an advantage has beenrealized with the use of separator layers that have one or both of theirsurfaces pretreated, activated or excited to promote adhesion betweenthe separator layer and the UV barrier and/or thermochromic layers. Thepre-laminates made with pretreated, activated or excited surfaces on theseparator layer are easier to use in subsequent lamination betweensheets of glass or plastic since the layers stay together and behaveessentially as a single layer. Pretreating, activating or exciting thesurface dramatically decreases issues with de-lamination during years ofuse of LETC window panes. The separator surfaces may be pretreated,activated or excited by glow discharge, plasma or corona treatmentprocess in vacuum, inert atmosphere or in air. Alternately, pretreatmentwith ozone may be provided in an oxygen atmosphere.

Although, a separator or diffusion barrier layer is primarily used toprevent intermixing of the materials from individual thermochromiclayers when there are multiple thermochromic layers present, they mayalso act as barriers to UV light. This allows the separator to protectunderlying layers from UV exposure. Also, UV absorbing materials, likethose described in the additives section of this patent, may be morecompatible with the separator layer than a layer containing a LETCsystem. This is especially true given that some UV absorbers/stabilizerslike hydroxyphenylbenzotriazoles may have undesirable interactions withtransition metal ions.

Also, the separator may contribute to the structural integrity andshatter resistance of the window. In this case the separator functionmay be provided by a relatively thick film or sheet of plastic. Withmultiple thermochromic layers and one or more, thick separator layersthe overall window laminate may even become hurricane, explosion, theft,vandalism and/or bullet resistant.

Seals

Seals are of interest especially for LETC layers which are sensitive tooxygen, water and/or environmental contaminants. For example, systemsinvolving iodide, systems involving phosphine compounds and systemsinvolving both iodide and phosphine compounds benefit from seals thatminimize the ingress of oxygen in the layers containing these systems.An edge seal may be provided when the LETC layer is laminated betweensheets of glass or sheets of plastic. The edge seal should cover theedge of the laminate around the entire perimeter to provide a barrierfor ingress of materials into the LETC layer. The edge seal may be athermoplastic, a thermoset, a rubber, a metallized tape or combinationsthereof. Useful thermoset seal materials are urethanes and epoxies.Suitable seals are epoxy systems disclosed for use as perimeter seals inU.S. Pat. No. 6,665,107, the contents of which are hereby incorporatedby reference. Useful thermoplastic seal materials are good barrierpolymers like poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(vinylidene chloride),(polyvinylidene fluoride), EVOH, and certain rubbers. Thermoplastic orthermoset systems overlayed with an impermeable metal foil or tape areuseful edge seal systems especially when the LETC systems containligands like iodide or phosphine compounds they are or are not used asligands.

Color and Color Coordinates

See “Principles of Color Technology, 2^(nd) Edition”, F. W. BillmeyerJr. and M. Saltzman, John Wiley and Sons, Inc. (1981) for a discussionof color and color coordinates including definitions of Y, L*, a*, b*and c*. The variation of c* with temperature is herein referred to asthe color sweep or shift of the LETC system. Generally, it is useful tohave small variations in c* i.e. small color sweep or shifts withtemperature. Many useful systems or combinations of systems have bothsmall c* values and small amount of color sweep as discussed below.

For the use of LETC systems in applications like energy saving windows,especially, SRT™ Windows, there is a demand for certain colors. Whilefixed tint windows which are gray, green, blue and bronze are inwidespread use, the most desirable color, (or lack thereof), forvariable tint windows is gray. This is especially true when the windowis or is able to become heavily tinted as the view through a heavilytinted gray window maintains the same color rendition for objects viewedthrough the window as is maintained with a lightly tinted or nearlycolorless window. Also it is highly desirable for the daylighting thatcomes in through the window to be color neutral so that people andobjects illuminated by that light have a normal appearance. Disclosedherein are interesting systems with a green, blue or bronze appearancewhen lightly tinted which change to gray when heavily tinted. Thesesystems and those that are close to gray at all tint levels areparticularly useful.

LETC systems with absorbance peaks throughout the visible and/or NIR aredisclosed herein. However, just a few special, single compositionsystems that are reasonably gray have been found. A few morecombinations of two compositions or layers of LETC materials have beendiscovered that provide good gray appearance throughout the entiretemperature range of intended use. Many more combinations involvingthree compositions or layers have been discovered that provide good grayappearance. Gray systems are illustrated in the Examples Section of thisdisclosure.

Useful LETC systems are those that not only maintain a consistent grayappearance throughout a large temperature range; they also have a largechange in visible light and/or total solar absorption. Single layer LETCsystems are disclosed herein, which have a c* of less than 25 throughoutthe temperature range of 25 C to 85 C and still have a change in Y fromgreater than 70 at 25 C to less than 15 at 85 C. Some of the two layerLETC systems have a c* of less than 21 throughout the temperature rangeof 25 to 85 C and still have a change in Y from greater than 75 at 25 Cto less than 15 at 85 C. Some of the three layer LETC systems have a c*of less than 15 and still have a change in Y from greater than 80 at 25C to less than 15 at 85 C. These systems have minimal color shift overthe active range of these novel TC systems.

Some of the multilayer systems have the added advantage that they alsoprovide reversibly variable transmission in the NIR as well as thevisible. However, the more compositions required the more complicatedand expensive the product becomes. Thus the systems that provide broadspectral attenuation and gray appearance with one or at most two layersare special.

Applications

A preferable use for our LETC layers is as part of an SRT™ windowpackage. Many configurations are possible for such windows. A fewconfigurations are:

-   -   1) A LETC layer that is laminated between sheets of tempered or        heat strengthened glass, wherein this laminate serves as the        center pane of a triple pane window. Preferably, in this        configuration, there is one or more than one low-e coating        between the LETC layer and the interior of the vehicle or        building in which the window is installed.    -   2) A LETC system is contained in a free standing plastic sheet        or is contained in a polymer layer which is laminated between        two plastic sheets and is used as the center pane of a triple        pane window. The interior pane of the triple pane window        preferably has a low-e coating on the surface facing the LETC        system.    -   3) A LETC layer is laminated between sheets of edge treated        glass and is used as the exterior pane of a double pane window.        Either one or both of the glass surfaces in contact with the gas        space of the double pane has a low-e coating.    -   4) A LETC layer is bonded to a sheet of tempered or heat        strengthened glass and a layer of plastic film is bonded to the        LETC layer. This pane is used as the exterior pane of a double        pane window with the plastic film in contact with the gas space        or this pane is used as the center pane of a triple pane window.        A pane with a Low-e layer is used as the interior pane in either        case and the low-e layer is oriented to face the pane with the        LETC layer.    -   5) A LETC layer is laminated between a sheet of NIR absorbing        glass and the uncoated side of a sheet of glass coated with a        low emissivity coating, which coating has substantial NIR        absorption character. This laminate is used as the exterior pane        of a double pane window with the low emissivity coating in        contact with the gas space of the double pane window.    -   6) A LETC layer that is laminated between a first sheet of        tempered or heat strengthened glass and the uncoated side of a        second sheet of tempered or heat strengthened glass coated with        a hard coat low emissivity coating. This laminate is used as the        interior pane of a double pane window, wherein the hard coat low        emissivity coating is in contact with the interior of the        vehicle or building in which the window is installed.

Many more examples are given in our co-pending application on windowstructures.

SRT™ windows may be used in a variety of applications such as variablelight absorption windows for residential and commercial buildingsincluding skylights and atrium glazing and variable light absorptionwindows for boats, ships, aircraft and motor vehicles including moonroofs and sun roofs. The windows may include artful designs of differentcolored LETC systems like a variable light transmission stained glasswindow.

When a triple pane window is constructed with the LETC system as part ofthe center pane, there are two interfaces in contact with a gas for eachpane, giving a total of six interfaces. The reflection from each ofthese interfaces will add up and may become objectionable. Thus we havediscovered an advantage to placing anti-reflection coating on one ormore surfaces in the window package.

LETC systems may be used to prepare variable reflectance mirrors byplacing LETC layer on a reflector or on a substrate coated with areflector. The LETC layer may be protected by laminating the layerbetween a transparent substrate and a reflector coated substrate. Thereflector may be used as a resistive heater to heat the LETC layer andthus vary the reflectance of the mirrors.

LETC systems may be used as a means to monitor the temperature invarious environments as long as the transmission change of the systemcan be measured or observed. Temperature determination may range fromvisual comparisons to full spectral measurements. This is a particularlyuseful means of monitoring temperature at the tip of a fiber optic cablethat may be used for, among other things, as a catheter for insertioninto a body.

An SRT™ window may be used to monitor the intensity and directness ofsunlight, as both the transmission and the temperature of thethermochromic layer change with sunlight intensity in a reproduciblemanner.

LETC systems may be used to display information in devices where certainregions are heated or the active LETC layer is patterned in a mannersuch that individual segments may be heated. Heating may be provided byresistive heating or by selective light exposure by a light source suchas a laser or other source providing a focused light beam or localizedheating.

While our best understanding of these TC processes involves changes inconcentrations of MLC's, we have discovered and herein describe manythermochromic systems that have a reversible, net increase in theirabilities to absorb light energy in the visible and/or NIR range as thetemperature of the system is increased, no matter what the explanation.

Examples

Table 6 gives the formulations of liquid solution LETC systems forExamples 1-46. In each case, the solution was prepared by dissolving thematerials in 5 milliliters of γ-BL. In each example, some of thesolution was placed in a 1 cm borosilicate cuvette, a small stir bar wasplaced in the cuvette and the cuvette was placed in the sample beam of aShimadzu UV-3101PC spectrophotometer. The solution was stirred andheated and the temperature was monitored with a thermocouple immersed inthe solution in the cuvette. A similar, unheated 1 cm cuvette containingonly the solvent was placed in the reference beam of thespectrophotometer. In each example the absorption spectrum of thesolution was measured from 350 nm to 1150 nm at 25 C and then thesolution was heated to 45 C and the spectrum was measured. Then thesolution was heated to 65 C and the spectrum was measured and so on at85 C and 105 C. FIGS. 1-46 correspond, numerically, to Examples 1-46.The Figures show the spectrum measured at 25 C, at 45 C, at 65 C, at 85C and at 105 C for the solutions described in these Examples. In eachcase the spectrum with the lowest absorbance corresponds to 25 C, thenext highest absorbance spectrum corresponds to 45 C and so on such thatthe spectrum with highest absorbance peaks in each Figure correspondsthat measured at 105 C. In all the FIGS. 1-46, the x axis, (horizontalaxis), gives the wavelengths in nanometers and the y axis, (verticalaxis), gives the absorbance values. For the examples in Table 6, themolarity values were calculated based on an assumed 5 ml total solutionvolume. Volume changes due to components dissolved in the 5 ml of γ-BLwere not considered.

Some of the single layer LETC systems we have discovered, which have ac* of less than 25 throughout the range of 25 C to 85 C with a Y fromgreater than 70 at 25 C and less than 15 at 85 C are listed in Table 7.These are c* and Y values for the LETC system alone and not for othercomponents like substrates that might be part of a window package. Eachexample in Table 7 is based on a formulation given by the entry fromTable 27. The spectra used to calculate c* and Y is the given percentageof the spectra obtained when heating a solution of the formulation givenin Table 27. LETC systems with the characteristic given in Table 7 canbe achieved either by using the percentage of the formulation from Table27 or by keeping the formulation the same and changing the path lengthor layer thickness of the system. It is also possible to achieve similarresults with these systems for a wide variety of concentrations and pathlengths. Thus information from liquid solution based LETC systems withlarge path lengths can be used to design thinner polymer layer basedsystems with similar change in white light transmission, similar colorsand similar color sweep or shift with temperature.

For examples of two layer systems, the spectra in FIGS. 1-32, werecombined in various combinations and each combination was checked to seeif it met certain performance criteria with regard to color and range oftransmission. Combinations made by adding various amounts of the spectrafrom just two LETC layers are given below. These combinations met thecriteria of c* less than 20 throughout the range of 25 C to 85 C with aY from greater than 75 at 25 C and less than 15 at 85 C. These arevalues for the LETC system alone and not for other components likesubstrates that might be part of a window package. In practice one canreliably predict the combined spectrum of two or more systems by simplyadding the spectra of two separate systems at each temperature ofinterest. Since the TC systems are, or would, be in separate layers, itis not surprising that the absorption spectra of light passing throughthe layers would be a simple sum of the separate absorption spectra.From the summed absorption spectra one can calculate the overall whitelight transmittance, Y, and the color coordinates, (see Principles ofColor Technology, 2^(nd) Edition”, F. W. Billmeyer Jr. and M. Saltzman,John Wiley and Sons, Inc. (1981)).

For examples of three layer systems, the spectra in FIGS. 1-46, werecombined in various combinations and the combinations were checked tosee if they met certain performance criteria with regard to color andrange of transmission. Many combinations gave good values for Y and c*when adding various amounts of the spectra from three LETC layers. Somerepresentative results made are given below. These combinations met thecriteria of c* less than 10 throughout the range of 25 C to 85 C with aY from greater than 80 at 25 C and less than 15 at 85 C. These arevalues for the LETC system alone and not for other components likesubstrates that might be part of window package.

Examples 226 to 278 in Table 15 involve extrusion with various LETCsystems which comprise Butvar® B-90 as solid polymer solvent. Extrusionswere made with a Brabender conical twin screw extruder with counterrotating screws. In example 263 the powders were first extruded as ropeand the rope was chopped into pellets. The pellets were fed back intothe extruder and a very uniform film was produced for thickness or gageand for uniformity of composition and coloration, i.e. uniform opticaldensity when heated as part of a laminate between sheets of glass.Laminates were made, from each film placed between two pieces of plainglass, in a heated platen press or by heating in a heated vacuum bag.All of the laminates showed good thermochromic activity when heated byvarious means and good durability when exposed to sunlight, especiallythose containing stabilizer additives. When films were extruded fromformulations, where the metal ions were added as a complex, it waseasier to maintain constant feed of the powders into the extruder andthere was an improvement in the uniformity of the extruded film.Laminates that were prepared from films made from powders dried beforefeeding into the extruder, (see Notes in Table 15), showed improvedperformance and had better durability during sunlight exposure.

FIGS. 51 to 57 relate to Examples 279 to 285. The figures show thespectra measured at 25 C, 45 C, 65 C and 85 C with an Ocean Optics 2000diode array spectrometer. For each spectrum in FIGS. 51 to 58, theabsorbance spectrum of a reference sample, made with the same type offloat glass and a plain piece of PVB film, was subtracted out. Thus thespectral data are for the LETC films alone. In each case the spectrumwith the lowest absorbance corresponds to 25 C, the next highestabsorbance spectrum corresponds to 45 C and so on such that the spectrumwith highest absorbance peaks in each figure corresponds to thatmeasured at 85 C. In all the FIGS. 51 to 58, the x axis, (horizontalaxis), gives the wavelengths in nanometers and the y axis, (verticalaxis), gives the absorbance values.

A physically blended mixture of powders was made by stirring 33.0 gramsof NiBr₂.xH₂O, 388.1 grams of TBABr, 5.7 grams of Tinuvin® 326, 5.7grams of Tinuvin® 144 and 100.9 grams of TMOLP into 600.7 grams of PVBpowder, (Butvar® B-90). This mixture was extruded to give film whichvaried from about 0.04 to about 0.11 centimeters thick. A piece of thisfilm that was 0.098 centimeters thick was used to laminate two sheets ofplain float glass together. The laminate was light green and changed tolight blue on heating. The spectrum of the laminate was measured at 25C, 45 C, 65 C and 85 C. By subtracting out a reference sample, thespectral data for the film alone were calculated and plotted in FIG. 54.

Example 286

Three laminates were prepared by laminating a film stack like thatdisclosed in Example 285, except that poly(ester-terephthalate) film wasused for the separators. These laminates were used as the center panesof a triple pane insulated glass units. The insulated glass units wereeach placed on a box to simulate a vertically glazed, window unit in abuilding. In each window unit, the pane that was closest to the interiorof the box had a Solarban® 60, low-e coating on the surface that facedthe center pane, thermochromic laminate. Solarban® 60 is available fromPPG of Pittsburgh, Pa. The exterior pane in each case was clear, i.e.plain glass. The air space between the exterior pane and thethermochromic laminate was 0.38 inches and the air space between thethermochromic laminate and low-e coated pane was 0.5 inches.

The window units were placed outdoors and exposed to sunlight. One ofthe window units was oriented to face east, one faced south and thethird faced west. During the day the directness of sunlight on eachwindow varied with the time of day as the earth rotated. The east facingwindow was observed to tint to a dark gray appearance in the morning,the south facing window tinted dark gray in during midday and westfacing window darkened to very dark gray in the late afternoon andevening. The experiment was conducted on a sunny day in Michigan inAugust. The visible, white light transmission value, Y, of each laminatehad previously been measured as a function of the temperature of thatlaminate. The temperature of each laminate was measured and recordedthroughout the day. The temperature measurements were used to calculatethe visible, white light transmission changes throughout the day due tosunlight exposure.

The calculated transmission data are plotted as a function the time ofday for each of the thermochromic laminates in FIG. 50. The curves inFIG. 50 show the remarkable sunlight responsiveness of our LETC systemsin our SRT™ configurations. This kind of response allows the windows todarken and provide energy savings any time of the day, any day of theyear and at any location or orientation on a building or vehicle. Thisresponse is just due to the directness of the sunlight and the windowtint just to the level desired to relieve heat load and glare, whilestill provide significant daylighting. Similar sunlight inducedthermochromic tinting has been observed on numerous occasions for triplepane units and even double pane units glazed into a building. Occupantsof the building experienced relief from heat load and glare duringdirect sunlight exposure of the windows.

In Examples 287 to 293, LETC layers were prepared by extrusion with thefollowing composition:

-   -   0.07m NiI₂(Ph₃P)₂    -   0.7m TBAI    -   0.2m Ph₃P    -   0.4m TMOLP    -   0.49 wt % Tinuvin® 144    -   in Butvar® B-90 PVB

The layers were treated as described below and the durability of thelaminates was tested for long term exposure at 80 C. Tables 19 to 25give the measured absorbance values at 25 C and 85 C at 425 nm and 565nm as a function of time for the laminate of the LETC layer in an 80 Coven in the dark.

Example 287

The LETC layer was exposed to room humidity for 24 hours and then waslaminated between two pieces of glass and the edge was sealed withepoxy. The absorbance data in Table 19 show a significant increase inthe absorbances at both wavelengths and both measured temperatures as aresult of heat exposure.

Example 288

A piece of the LETC layer was laminated between pieces of glass shortlyafter the layer was extruded but without pre-drying the layer. Thelaminate was not sealed. The measured absorbances irreversibly increasedwith time at 80 C in the center of the laminate, as shown by the data inTable 20. Also, the unsealed edges of the layer turned colorless andthen yellow and showed no thermochromic activity.

Example 289

A piece of the LETC layer was vacuum dried at room temperature for about20 hours before lamination. The edge of the laminate was sealed withepoxy. This amount of drying had little impact on stability as seen bythe irreversible absorbance increases over time in the Table 21.

Example 290

A piece of the LETC layer was extruded where all of the components werepre-dried prior to extrusion. The layer produced by extrusion was storedin vacuum over desiccant. This pre and post dried layer was laminatedbetween pieces of glass and the edges were sealed with epoxy. Themeasured absorbance values given in Table 22 show much greater stabilityfor thermochromic activity on exposure to 80 C.

Example 292

A thermochromic layer was prepared by solvent casting a thermochromiclayer from n-propanol. The layer contained:

-   -   0.07m NiI₂(Ph₃P)₂    -   0.7m TBAI    -   0.2m Ph₃P    -   0.4m TMOLP    -   in Butvar® B-90 PVB        the molal value were only with respect to the amount of PVB, but        the entire LETC layer was made 15 weight % in triethyleneglycol        bis(2-ethylhexanoate). As part of the solvent casting process        the layer was thoroughly dried at 80 C under nitrogen. The layer        was laminated between pieces of glass and edge sealed with        epoxy. The laminate showed improved stability during storage at        80 C as shown by the absorbance values in Table 24.

Thermochromic layers with the following compositions:

Composition A Composition B 0.1 m (TBA)₂NiI₄ 0.2 m (TBA)₂NiBr₄ 0.11 m4-(3-PhPr)Pyr 0.4 m 1-butylimidazole 0.3 m TBAI 0.2 m TBABr 0.005 m Ph₃P0.5 m NPG 0.07 m TMOLP in Butvar ® B-90 1 wt % Tinuvin ® 405 in Butvar ®B-90were prepared by extrusion. A 0.03 cm thick layer with Composition A wasplaced on one side of a separator that was 0.0076 cm thick layer ofpoly(ester terephthalate) which was excited on both sides byglow-discharge and labeled as Southwall “HB3/75 Glow 2-sided” availablefrom Southwall Technologies Inc. of Palo Alto, Calif. Two layers withComposition B, totaling 0.09 cm thick, were placed on the other side ofthe separator. The polymer layer stack was placed between sheets ofclear, plain, soda-lime float glass and a laminate was formed in aheated vacuum bag. The spectrum of the laminate was measured at 25 C, 45C, 65 C and 85 C. By subtracting out a reference sample, the spectraldata for the film stack alone were calculated and plotted in FIG. 58.The values of L*, a*, b* and Y for films making up the laminate aregiven in the Table 26 at various temperatures.

The information in Table 27 along with the key section of Table 27 givethe formulations of liquid solution LETC systems for Examples 295-1025.In each case the solution was prepared by dissolving the materialsindicated in 5 milliliters of the solvent listed at the heading of eachsection of Table 27. In each example, some of the solution was placed ina 1 cm borosilicate cuvette, a small stir bar was placed in the cuvetteand the cuvette was placed in the sample beam of a Shimadzu UV-3101PCspectrophotometer. The solution was stirred and heated and thetemperature was monitored with a thermocouple immersed in the solutionin the cuvette. A similar, unheated 1 cm cuvette containing only thesolvent was placed in the reference beam of the spectrophotometer. Theabsorption spectrum was measured at various temperatures and thewavelengths of maximum absorbance, λ_(max), and the absorbance at thesevalues of λ_(max) were recorded for each temperature of interest. Table27 shows the LETC performance at various temperatures for selectedvalues of λ_(max) in a format λ_(max)|A_(L)|T_(L)|A_(H)|T_(H). A_(L) isthe absorbance measured at a lower temperature, T_(L), and A_(H) is theabsorbance measured at a higher temperature, T_(H), at the λ_(max)indicated. For the examples in Table 27, the molarity values werecalculated based on an assumed 5 ml total solution volume. Volumechanges due to components dissolved in the 5 ml of solvent were notconsidered.

In Table 27 the solvent may act as part or all of the LεL.

Each solution was cycled back and forth between hot and cold and theamount of TC activity appeared remained consistent, i.e. on cooling thesolution decreased back to its original color and appearance.

The key section also gives the synthesis for all the materials used inLETC systems that are not commercially available.
